Description

Explore the connection between theater and the human mind in this scholarly study from Routledge. This work examines how both Gertrude Stein and Wallace Stevens use the concept of theater, as both an abstract idea and a physical space, to shape their writing. By looking at their plays and poetry, the book examines the parallel ways these two authors depict consciousness. Modernist literature often deals with a sense of disillusionment regarding traditional ideas of selfhood. This text investigates how Stein and Stevens navigate a world where the self is seen as fallible and often fails as a means of expression. As older ways of understanding consciousness became difficult to maintain, these authors developed new methods to represent the human experience. This book provides a deep look into how these literary modernists redefined the boundaries of identity through their unique creative lenses.
