Vital Stein

Gertrude Stein, Modernism and Life

Beschreibung

Stein's modernist fascination with life connects her writing to late-nineteenth- and twentieth-century thinkers This book focuses on Gertrude Stein, who wanted to capture 'this thing life' in writing, and argues that Stein is linked to a number of late-nineteenth and twentieth-century thinkers, who, like Stein, also conceived of life as an open, differential system. These chapters weave together Wilhelm Dilthey, Henri Bergson, Walter Benjamin and A. N. Whitehead, offering readers an alternative vitalist framework. Dr Sarah Posman is an English teacher in Ghent, Belgium.
