WiSe 22/23: Gertrude Stein
Ulla Haselstein
Comments
"Mother Goose of Montparnasse" - this is one of the nicknames given to Gertrude Stein. She belonged to the first generation of women who wewre permitted to attend university. She was an American expatriate living in Paris, a patron of the arts, a collector of modernist paintings, a good friend of Matisse and Picasso. She was an American Jew and a lesbian who openly lived with her "wife" Alice Toklas. And she was an experimental writer whose main device was repetition, who initially had to pay for the publication of her texts, and in her lifetime was recognized as a major author only by very few. While Stein wrote in all genres, literary portraits are at the core of her work, and offer a mode of access to her notoriously difficult texts. We will analyze stories, portraits, poems, excerpts of her most important novel and her autobiographical texts, describing and analyzing their rhetorical and grammatical structures, and listening to the sound. close
