From the Publisher
“Will become the defining analysis of the question of Jewishness in Stein’s writing—a question absolutely crucial to understanding this great modernist writer. An important and long-awaited contribution to Stein studies.”—Barbara Will, author of Unlikely Collaboration: Gertrude Stein, Bernard Faÿ, and the Vichy Dilemma
“The first full-length study of Gertrude Stein’s Jewishness and how it is central rather than ancillary to her foundational contributions to modernist literature, this book is convincing, lucidly written, and a joy to read.”—Maria Damon, author of Postliterary America: From Bagel Shop Jazz to Micropoetries
“A thorough and wide-ranging account of Jewishness in Stein’s oeuvre, making a convincing case that for Stein, modernism and the modern were both in important senses metaphorically Jewish.”—Maren Tova Linett, author of Modernism, Feminism, and Jewishness
