In the "GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection: 60+ Poems, Tales & Plays in One Volume," readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology of Stein's distinctive literary creations. This collection showcases her innovative use of language, form, and structure, epitomizing the avant-garde style characteristic of the early 20th century. Stein's works often delve into themes of identity, perception, and the nature of existence, marked by her radical departure from traditional narrative forms and her penchant for repetition and rhythmic elements, which challenge conventional storytelling methods and invite readers to rethink the function of language itself. Gertrude Stein, an instrumental figure in the modernist movement, was known not only for her literary prowess but also for her role as a patron of the arts in Paris, where she gathered a circle of influential artists and thinkers. Her experiences as a Jewish-American expatriate and her radical embrace of both cubism in visual arts and contemporaneous social movements informed her writing, as she sought to break free from the limitations imposed by societal norms and narrative conventions. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the evolution of modernist literature, as Stein'Äôs pioneering approach serves as a vital reference point in understanding contemporary literature. Each piece in this anthology provides a window into her unique vision and the revolutionary ideas that continue to resonate today.

Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was a writer, art-collector, and advocate for the avant-garde. Born in Pennsylvania, she studied psychology at Harvard and attended medical school, dropping out in her fourth year to move to Paris with her brother Leo.

Here she played a crucial role in shaping the burgeoning European avant-garde, hosting literary salons that counted Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Ernest Hemingway among the visitors. She was the author of countless poems, plays and shorter works, as well as books including Three Lives, The Making of the Americans, Tender Buttons and The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas - a memoir written in the voice of her life partner of many decades, Alice.
