Book Overview

Gertrude Stein was born in Pittsburgh, USA in 1874, 150 years ago this year. This volume includes extracts from her writings at significant points in her career.

Our publisher's choice provides a concise introduction to one of the world's most original literary minds.

Gertrude Stein was a masculine, openly lesbian woman who lived her whole life on her own terms; good-natured, idiosyncratic, brilliant. Her influence on 20th-century modernism is almost impossible to over-estimate.

150 years of Gertrude Stein is No 4 in the Publisher's Choice series, a collection of slim volumes selected by our publisher at the Cambridge Queer Press.
