Scott Fitzgerald Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway . Stein, a brilliant conversationalist, became a legend with her Roman senator haircut and verbal facility. Against all odds, she survived the persecution of sexual minorities and Jews during the German occupation of France in World War II. "Most of us balk at her soporific rigmaroles, her echolaliac incantations, her half-witted-sounding catalogues on numbers; most of us read her less and less. Yet, remembering especially her early work, we are still always aware of her presence in the background of contemporary literature - and we picture her as the great pyramidal Buddha of Jo Davidson's statue of her, eternally and placidly ruminating the gradual developments of the process of being, registering the vibrations of a psychological country like some august human seismograph whose charts we haven't the training to read." (Edmund Wilson in Axel's Castle Gertrude Stein was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, of educated German-Jewish immigrants. Her father, Daniel Stein, was a traction-company executive, who had become wealthy through his investments in street railroads and real estate. His business took the family for four years to Vienna and Paris, when Stein was a child. In 1879 the family returned to America. With her parents, she made subsequently several cultural trips to Europe. After the death of her mother and father, Stein and two of her siblings lived with her mother's family in Baltimore.

5. Gertrude Stein Gertrude Stein (18741946) Modern before modernism, Gertrude Stein’s work stands as one extreme of Twentieth Century Literature. http://www2.english.uiuc.edu/finnegan/English 256/gertrude_stein.htm

Gertrude Stein, by Mina Loy Curie of the laboratory of vocabulary she crushed the tonnage of consciousness congealed to phrases to extract a radium of the word Gertrude Stein Modern before modernism, Gertrude Stein’s work stands as one extreme of Twentieth Century Literature. At Radcliff she studied psychology with William James, and at Johns Hopkins afterwards she studied the anatomy of the brain. The psychological theories of James and of a closely related French philosopher, Henri Bergson, laid the foundation for her own highly original work. The idea that consciousness is a stream, rather than a succession of formations, and that underneath chronological memory is an intuitive apprehension of existence, led to certain conclusions of her own that animated bother her prose and verse. Chief among them was that sequence and causation were methods of imprisoning the mind. The object of language, she held, was to bring things and people and words out of stale usage into a state which she variously designated as “the excitingness of pure being,” “realizing the existence of living,” “the intensity of anyone’s existence.”

Gertrude Stein Gertrude Stein Introduction Gertrude Stein At the forefront of literary modernism in the early twentieth century was the inimitable Gertrude Stein. Although she was an American, ideological and artistic differences with her home country compelled the author to move to France. Further solidifying Stein as an iconoclast was her nearly lifelong relationship with her companion and secretary, Alice B. Toklas. Stylistically, Stein wrote in a stream-of-consciousness manner, a method that attempts to present thoughts as they occur in an uncensored fashion. Poet Judy Grahn has identified six principles at play in one combination or another in Stein’s work: commonality, essence, the “continuous present,” value, play, and transformation. Stein’s most famous and successful work is The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas

Harvard Monthly . Cambridge, April 1916. E. E. Cummings "Mt. Chocorua." Oil on canvas. Ca. 1938. Cummings always painted with the bright colors of Japanese prints. His pen-and-ink drawings, many of which appeared in The Dial , suggest Chinese calligraphy. GERTRUDE STEIN Although modern art replaced her Japanese prints, Stein remained interested in the links between Eastern and Western cultures. She said, perhaps with some reference to her own work, of Picasso's calligraphic paintings that "Oriental people, the people of America and the people of Spain have never, really never forgotten that it is not necessary to use letters in order to be able to write."

At first we were disappointed because somebody announced that Miss Stein might deliver an incoherent discourse on “modern art”, and we wanted to hear about her peculiar mode of writing. Maybe she refers to it as “modern art”. Whatever it is, students are curious to learn the rudiments of the Steinesque. Perhaps Secretary Alice Toklas will interpret the Stein Language to the audience, because we would be disappointed, indeed, if Miss Stein double-crossed us and discussed literature in plain everyday English. After all, she attained fame because nobody could understand her and the illusion should not be spoiled. She has become the problem child of the country’s literary clubs, which have assumed a protective attitude toward her, catering to her every whim — up to $250. And our English club, sponsor of Miss Stein’s campus lecture, is no exception. And the rest of us, who are not members of the club, are a bit thankful that we are accorded the opportunity to hear what happens “accidentally in the morning and after that every evening and accidentally every evening and after that every morning...”

Gertrude Stein - brief biography [adapted from an entry in the (c) Encyclopedia Britannica (b. Feb. 3, 1874, Allegheny, Pa., U.S.d. July 27, 1946, Paris), avant-garde American writer, eccentric, and self-styled genius, whose Paris home was a salon for the leading artists and writers of the period between World Wars I and II. Stein spent her infancy in Vienna and Paris and her girlhood in Oakland, Calif. At Radcliffe College she studied psychology with the philosopher William James. After further study at Johns Hopkins medical school she went to Paris, where she was able to live by private means. From 1903 to 1912 she lived with her brother Leo, who became an accomplished art critic; thereafter she lived with her lifelong companion Alice B. Toklas (1877-1967). Her first published book, Three Lives (1909), the stories of three working-class women, has been called a minor masterpiece. The Making of Americans, a long composition written in 1906-08 but not published until 1925, was too convoluted and obscure for general readers, for whom she remained essentially the author of such lines as "A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." Her only book to reach a wide public was The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933), actually Stein's own autobiography. The performance in the United States of her Four Saints in Three Acts (1934), which the composer Virgil Thomson had made into an opera, led to a triumphal American lecture tour in 1934-35. Thomson also wrote the music for her second opera, The Mother of Us All (published 1947), based on the life of feminist Susan B. Anthony.
