- Description
- In a lecture delivered before the University of Oxford’s Anglo-French Society in 1936, Gertrude Stein described romance as “the outside thing, that. .. is always a thing to be felt inside.” Hannah Roche takes Stein’s definition as a principle for the reinterpretation of three major modernist lesbian writers, showing how literary and affective romance played a crucial yet overlooked role in the works of Stein, Radclyffe Hall, and Djuna Barnes.

- Description
- In 1941, the Jewish American writer and avant-garde icon Gertrude Stein embarked on one of the strangest intellectual projects of her life: translating for an American audience the speeches of Marshal Philippe Pétain, head of state for the collaborationist Vichy government. Stein translated speeches in which he outlined the Vichy policy barring Jews and other 'foreign elements' from the public sphere while calling for France to reconcile with Nazi occupiers. This book pursues the question why and under what circumstances would Stein undertake this project? .Barbara Will outlines the formative powers of the relationship between Stein and Faÿ's political and aesthetic ideals, especially their reflection in Stein's writing from the late 1920s to the 1940s. Will treats their interaction as a case study of intellectual life during wartime France and an indication of America's place in the Vichy imagination. The book forces a reconsideration of modernism and fascism, asking what led so many within the avant-garde toward fascist and collaborationist thought.

- Description
- In this collection the authors revisit Sontag's life and work. Against Interpretation, 'Notes on Camp,' Letter from Hanoi, On Photography, Illness as Metaphor, I, Etcetera, and The Volcano Lover —these works form the center of essays no less passionate and imaginative than Sontag herself. Debating questions raised by the thinker's own images and identities, including her sexuality, these works question Sontag's status as a female intellectual and her parallel interest in ambitious and prophetic fictional women: her ambivalence toward popular culture: and her personal and professional 'scandals.” Paired with rare photographs and illustrations, this anthology expands the understanding of Sontag's images and power.
