"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 Excerpted from Gertrude Stein and the Making of Jewish Modernism by Amy Feinstein All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
