This rare first printing of Selected Writings of Gertrude Stein offers a window into the pioneering work of one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century. Stein’s experimental prose style and her role in the Parisian avant-garde movement of the 1920s made her a trailblazer in modernist literature. Her unique voice challenged conventional syntax and narrative structure, paving the way for future generations of writers to push the boundaries of language and form. This volume contains some of Stein’s most celebrated works, including her memoir “The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas” and the iconic poem “Sacred Emily,” offering a comprehensive introduction to her innovative oeuvre. Despite the absence of a dust jacket and some writing inside the front cover, the book’s well-preserved pages and sturdy binding make it a desirable addition to any collection of modern literary classics.
