Welcomed into Stein's art-covered living room were the likes of Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway, and Pound. But--perhaps because of the celebrated names who made up her social circle--Stein has remained one of the most recognizable and yet least-known of the twentieth-century's major literary figures, despite her immense and varied body of work. With detailed reference to her writings, Stein's own collected anecdotes, and even the many portraits painted of her, Lucy Daniel discusses how the legend of Gertrude Stein was created, both by herself and her admirers, and gives much-needed attention to the continuing significance and influence of Stein's literary works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fresh and readable biography of one of the major Modernist writers, \u003ci\u003eGertrude Stein \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to a wide audience interested in Stein's contributions to avant-garde writing, and twentieth century art and literature in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Daniel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 186189516X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861895165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Lucy Daniel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939041837311,"sku":"9781861895165","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c156be92-5e0c-4ed7-b4e6-2502d23530ff.jpg?v=1681439150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gertrude-stein-lucy-daniel-9781861895165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
