Chapter 6: Gertrude Stein and the Movement of Words.

This article examines the correlation between the modern and classical compositions in the writings of American poet and feminist Gertrude Stein. Feminist critics and revisionary scholars of modernism alike have turned to Stein to uncover a largely neglected dimension of modernism, while avant-garde poets have turned to her writing as an exemplary example of postmodern techniques and concerns. Stein's writings share with more postmodern texts. This is an apt description of her modernist aestheticism that accompanies pragmatism's general concept of abstraction and non-selectiveness.
