Geography and Plays  is a cornucopia of genre:  there are poems, stories, plays, portraits, and perhaps ‘essays’.  In short, the collection is a one-volume introduction to the most boldly experimental period in the work of the most boldly experimental American writer of the twentieth century.”—Cyrena N. Pondrom, University of Wisconsin-Madison



“More and more clearly, Stein is being seen for what she is:  one of the towering figures of modernism and of experiments with language and literary genre.  Geography and Plays  is a central text in Stein’s oeuvre  and in literary modernism.”—Catharine R. Stimpson, Rutgers University



“Here is one artist who has been able to accept ridicule, who has even foregone the privilege of writing the Great American Novel, uplifting our English-speaking stage and wearing the bays of the great poets, to go live among the little housekeeping words, the swaggering bullying street-corner words, and all the other forgotten and neglected citizens of the sacred and half-forgotten city.”—Sherwood Anderson, from the Introduction to the 1922 edition.
