It examines how conceptions of authorship intersected discourses of democracy and rights in the period 1909-1933. The persistent debates across a broad range of publication contexts over Gertrude Stein's right to participate in modernist authorship provide an instructive example of the way literary culture reflected contemporary political discussion. This study explores how representations of Stein that figured her either as barely human or as the ultimate democratic subject reproduced debates about who should participate in public life, refracted an emerging discourse of human rights, and echoed fears about the consequences of mass democracy as political franchise was extended"-- OP - 256 CN - PS3537.T323 SN - 9781474484343 SN - 1474484344 SN - 9781474484350 SN - 1474484352 SN - 9781474484329 SN - 1474484328 KW - Stein, Gertrude, : 1874-1946 : Criticism and interpretation.
