Introduction: Gertrude Stein, Modernism and Democracy
View through CrossRef
The Introduction sets out the key contexts the book will engage, centred around an exploration of Stein’s text on President Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations ‘A League’, and its appearance in the American publication Life magazine in 1919. Arguing that, in the period 1909-1933, Stein’s work becomes a significant nexus for debate in a scene engaged in the reformation, construction and legitimation of authorship that has complex ties to discourses of democratic rights, the Introduction sets out the key ways Stein’s work, her activity on the cultural scene and the debates around her authorship engage or reflect those discourses. The Introduction also puts the monograph into the context of Stein studies, engaging critically with a scholarly tradition in which Stein’s work is claimed as inherently democratic.
