This book is a study of Gertrude Stein’s diverse and
idiosyncratic oeuvre, ranging from established works such as ‘The
Autobiography of Alice B. Tolkas’ to her lesser known pieces of
theatre. Drawing upon feminist, psychoanalytic and performance
theory, Nicola Shaughnessy re-evaluates Stein’s prose, poetry and
drama. Reference is made to Stein’s unpublished material, in
particular her notebooks or ‘carnets’ which offer new insights
into her life and work. The book explores the importance of
autobiography as a pervasive element throughout Stein’s writing.
Above all, Nicola Shaughnessy shows how Stein’s work benefits
from being situated in an interdisciplinary artistic context with
influences from art, theatre and music as well as literature.
