The geographical history of America;: Or, The relation of human nature to the human mind

The geographical history of America;: Or, The relation of human nature to the human mind by Stein, Gertrude. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780394719412.

Geographical History also elaborates on Steins concepts of identity, landscape, presence, and composition. Today, as literary discourse pays more attention to textuality; to voice, reader-response, and phenomenology, Stein emerges as a pioneering modernist to whom the century is slowly catching up. For those in the performing arts, Geographical History further addresses the notion of play as landscape, one of Steins most influential theatrical ideas, as well as such issues as dialogue, character, and dramatic structure -- in a book that is itself a model of modern experimentation.
