{"product_id":"stanzas-in-meditation-the-corrected-edition-9780300153095","title":"Stanzas in Meditation: The Corrected Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, Yale University Press published a number of Gertrude Stein's posthumous works, among them her incomparable \u003ci\u003eStanzas in Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e. Since that time, scholars have discovered that Stein's poem exists in several versions: a manuscript that Stein wrote and two typescripts that her partner Alice B. Toklas prepared. Toklas's work on the second typescript changed the poem when, enraged upon detecting in it references to a former lover, she not only adjusted the typescript but insisted that Stein make revisions in the original manuscript. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of \u003ci\u003eStanzas in Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e is the first to confront the complicated story of its composition and revision. Through meticulous archival work, the editors present a reliable reading text of Stein's original manuscript, as well as an appendix with the textual variants among the poem's several versions. This record of Stein's multi-layered revisions enables readers to engage more fully with the author's radically experimental poem and also to detect the literary impact of Stein's relationship with Toklas. The editors' preface and poet Joan Retallack's introduction offer insight into the complexities of reading Stein's poetry and the innovative modes of reading that her works require and generate. Students and admirers of Stein will welcome this illuminating new contribution to Stein's oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gertrude Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.58w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300153095\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48671245795465,"sku":"9780300153095","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_38658679-3407-48a3-8b4c-a6223e298417.jpg?v=1791956499","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/stanzas-in-meditation-the-corrected-edition-9780300153095","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
