This book traces the presence of the theater, both as an abstract
concept and a literal space, in the plays and poetry of Gertrude
Stein and Wallace Stevens as it attempts to explain the parallel
depictions of consciousness that are found in both authors' work.
Literary modernists inherited a self that was fallible, a self that
was seen as an ultimately failed gesture of expression, and
throughout much modern literature is a sense of disillusionment
with more traditional notions of selfhood. As more conventional
ways of thinking about consciousness became untenable, so too did
conventional models of artistic expression.This book shows how
Stein and Stevens provide powerful examples of this modern attempt
to stage the new subject.
