{"product_id":"last-operas-and-plays-gertrude-stein-9780801849855","title":"Last Operas and Plays (Revised)","description":"In the more than 75 plays Gertrude Stein wrote between 1913 and 1946, she envisioned a new dramaturgy, beginning with the pictorial conception of a play as a landscape. She drew into her plays the daily flow of life around her - including the natural world - and turned cities, villages, parts of the dramatic structure, and even her own friends into characters. She made punctuation and typography part of her compositional style and chose words for their joyful impact as sound and wordplay. For Stein, the writing process itself was always important in developing the continuous present at the heart of her work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gertrude Stein, Carl Van Vechten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801849853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801849855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1995 pg. 58","brand":"Gertrude Stein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311043604735,"sku":"9780801849855","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6bef355-0406-49a0-b417-998f2a03377e.jpg?v=1695720781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/last-operas-and-plays-gertrude-stein-9780801849855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
