Gertrude Stein in Europe - Reconfigurations Across Media, Disciplines, and Traditions

Although often hailed as a ''quintessentially American'' writer, the modernist poet, novelist and playwright Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) spent most of her life in France. With chapters written by leading international scholars, Gertrude Stein in Europe is the first sustained exploration of the European artistic and intellectual networks in which Stein''s work was first developed and circulated. Along the way, the book investigates the European contexts of Stein''s writing, how her own work intersected with European thought, including phenomenology and the vitalist work of Henri Bergson, and ultimately how it was received by scholars and artists across the continent. Gertrude Stein in Europe opens up new perspectives on Stein as a writer and on the centrality of artistic and intellectual networks to European modernism.>
