{"product_id":"gertrude-stein-and-the-making-of-jewish-modernism","title":"Gertrude Stein and the Making of Jewish Modernism","description":"\u003cp\u003eChallenging the assumption that modernist writer Gertrude Stein seldom integrated her Jewish identity and heritage into her work, this book uncovers Stein's constant and varied writing about Jewish topics throughout her career. Amy Feinstein argues that Judaism was central to Stein's ideas about modernity, showing how Stein connects the modernist era to the Jewish experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombing through Stein's scholastic writings, drafting notebooks, and literary works, Feinstein analyzes references to Judaism that have puzzled scholars. She reveals the never-before-discussed influence of Matthew Arnold as well as a hidden Jewish framework in Stein's epic novel \u003ci\u003eThe Making of Americans\u003c\/i\u003e. In Stein's experimental \"voices\" poems, Feinstein identifies an explicitly Jewish vocabulary that expresses themes of marriage, nationalism, and Zionism. She also shows how \u003ci\u003eWars I Have Seen\u003c\/i\u003e, written in Vichy France during World War II, compares the experience of wartime occupation with the historic persecution of Jews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAffirming the importance of Jewish identity and modernist style to Gertrude Stein's legacy as a writer, this book radically changes the way we read and appreciate Stein's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Feinstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813066318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Feinstein\u003c\/b\u003e teaches English at a public high school in New York City.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":53323815092522,"sku":"9780813066318","price":135.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/4553\/1946\/files\/img_27d0eac5-dd7b-4110-a595-c2444e3870ea.jpg?v=1793058096","url":"https:\/\/delvanta.shop\/products\/gertrude-stein-and-the-making-of-jewish-modernism","provider":"Whitmore Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
