Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Here is "Gertrude Stein: Form and Intelligibility" by Rosalind S. Miller, as published in 1949 by the Exposition Press. Contains the First Public appearance of Stein's "Radcliffe Manuscript". 1949 edition. This is a deaccessioned library book. (X - LIB) This early critical study of Gertrude Stein is especially important for it's inclusion of Stein's "Radcliffe Manuscripts". In her introduction to "The Radcliffe Manuscripts" Miller states : |> In 1939 when the shadows if war were settling over Europe, Gertrude Stein sent her original manuscripts to Thornton Wilder, who, in turn, to ensure their further protection, deposited them with the Yale Library, where they are now in the American Literature Collection. The collection consists of the published and unpublished works of the author. Most of the writing had been done in the small black copybooks - each page filled with the large, scrawling, often illegible handwriting of Gertrude Stein. |> There is a vast amount of provocative material for the Stein scholar to work with; for me the most interesting of all the manuscripts were the Radcliffe themes, which were written in 1894 - 1895 when Miss Stein, a student at Radcliffe College, was taking the well-known English Composition 22 course under the instruction of William Vaughn Moody. These themes constitute Miss Stein's earliest writing. At first glance it may be said that these are the themes thousands of college freshmen wrote and are still writing. But on closer analysis the material s more significant than the hackneyed conventional themes which ruin and enfeeble the mind of the college English teacher. This book is not a scholarly critique for the specialized student; not only was it written fir the average reader who has never read her work but who is familiar with the name of Gertrude Stein and the legends that have sprung up about her, but also for the reader who has found Miss Stein's books difficult and often unintelligible. If this volume can help the reader approach Miss Stein's writing with more insight, it will have served its purpose. I intend this work only as a guide which should be used in conjunction with Gertrude Stein's books. Although Miss Stein has had a long literary career, there has been very little critical writing about her. Miss Stein's literary output -- books, articles, privately printed pamphlets and unfinished manuscripts -- totals several hundred items. Even in a critical discussion such as this, it was impossible to discuss or mention them all. I have chosen what I consider her most representative work. <| TITLE : Gertrude Stein: Form and Intelligibility (Includes Stein's "Radcliffe Themes") AUTHOR : Rosalind S.

"Until Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney opened her studio on Eighth Street in Manhattan in 1914 - which almost two decades later evolved into the Whitney Museum - contemporary American artists had little or no outlet for their work. Throughout the nineteenth century, as America expanded its borders from coast to coast, tilling the land and building industry were far greater priorities for Americans than art. Yet, especially in the latter half of the century, vast fortunes were amassed by many who built themselves extraordinary mansions that cried out to be embellished with works of art. In those days, however, the only palce art was to be found and collected was Europe. American artists more often than not sought inspiration and recognition in Europe. Thus, at the dawn of the new century the relatively few museums and galleries in the United States focused primarily, if not exclusively, on foreign art. It was, therefore, all the more remarkable when Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, scion of America's wealthiest family and herself a sculptor, opened her own studio in Greenwich Village for exhibitions of contemporary American artists. After twenty-two years on Eighth Street, the Whitney moved uptown to Fifty-fourth Street next to the Museum of Modern Art. With the Whitney's ever expanding collection and growing attendance, space once again became an issue. When a desirable plot of land was located and purchased on Madison Avenue and Seventy-fifth street in 1964, the famed architect Marcel Breuer was commissioned to build the new Whitney Museum. The imposing granite structure of the Whitney Museum of American Art, as we know it today, opened its doors in 1966 and has become one of America's most prominent cultural institutions. When Gertrude died in 1942, her daughter Flora Miller took over as head of the Whitney. Like her mother, she dedicated her all - her time and fortune - to the museum. In 1977, the third generation Whitney woman, Flora Biddle, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's granddaughter, became president. As time went on, the size and scope of the Whitney and its increasing financial demands led it to pass from a family-run museum to a trustee-run business. The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made is a tale in which high ideals, extraordinary altruism, and great dedication increasingly come face to face with large egos, big business, intrigue, and the harsh realities of today's world. Flora Biddle's sensitive and insightful memoir is, despite all these obstacles and problems, a success story of three generations of forceful, indomitable women." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
