- Description
- Before Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) became an experimental writer, she spent a decade conducting research in both the leading psychological laboratory and the leading medical school in the United States. The textual context of her later work is therefore not just literary, but also philosophical, psychological, and neuropsysiological.This book examines the turn-of-the-century scientific and philosophical worlds in which the young Stein was emmersed and situates her in relation to such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James, Alfred North Whitehead, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
