Food was clearly very important in their lives and it is written with great The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook. Contributory to that may be that Toklas had jaundice when she wrote it The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook was on a strict diet. Most of the recipes are French because that is where Toklas and Stein spent most of their time. But there are some thrown in from the US and a sprinkling from most other Europ 3. But there are some thrown in from the US and a sprinkling from The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook other European countries and a few from further afield. Toklas collected recipes all her life and this was her passion. The arrangement of the recipes is idiosyncratic to say the least, with the order being more of when they were tried and cooked as Toklas takes the reader through the years. There are lots of asides about the various people they knew and places they visited; bit of a restaurant tour of France in the The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook forty years of the twentieth century. There is a recipe for a leg of lamb which requires the cook to inject the meat with orange juice twice a day for a week whilst it is being marinaded. It seems that most things that moved were eaten. Of course, the most famous recipe in the book is in the chapter which is The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook contributed by friends; Hashish Fudge, with the recommendation that two pieces are enough and a batch will cause great hilarity at any party. Incidentally, the fudge more accurately a browniehas its own facebook page! There are interesting recollections throughout the book of their friends famous and less famous. The chapter on the Nazi occupation is interesting. Being both Jewish and lesbian, Stein and Toklas cannot have been very comfortable in Nazi occupied France. It is an interesting read; the range of recipes is broad. View all 5 comments. Shelves: pre-isbnreview-likedauthor-femalefood- and-cookingautobiographynon-fictionbooks-withtoratingsy Toklas began to develop a knowledgeable passion for the fine The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook of France. This scintillating literary memoir of a recipe book is one result of that. That, in a nutshell, is to me The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook prime delight of this book. Alice writes in a very matter of fact style. She remembers buying two hams and hundreds of cigarettes immediately after the San Francisco earthquake, whilst that city was still burning. Ernest Hemingway and Thornton Wilder number amongst the multitude of characters who pass affectionately through her pages. And the recipes read well. Very well. To my shame I have never cooked any; principally because so very many require copious quantities of butter, cream, and egg yolk. Zero calories, and very, very, satisfying too. Perhaps I ought to design and market a meal-less training course as the new post-Christmas diet? Would I get anyone to part with their money? However, there is ONE infamous recipe that I leave well alone. The unfortunate editor of this book at Michael Joseph was entirely and blissfully unaware that the principle ingredient, canibis sativa [sic], is otherwise known as marijuana. Unaware, of course, until after this book had been published. That recipe has now gone down in the annals of folklore. I last heard Press mention of it some six or seven years ago when UK sufferers of multiple sclerosis were lobbying for cannabis to be legalised for medical usage. Read this book for that frisson if you wish; but your prime reason for reading this book should be to experience, learn from, and replicate the warmth, love, and good fellowship of the circle of friends who are inevitably drawn to surround a good and sociable cook. View 2 comments. Jul 14, Rhian rated it it was amazing. Best book ever. The recipes are basically impossible, but that's immaterial. Mar 27, Gila Gila rated it it was amazing Shelves: I want all of her dishes, one after the other, never mind that the rest of the country would then be out of eggs, cream and butter for the next five or six years. I used to have a first edition paperback of Ms. Then I read the introduction and was reminded of this: decades ago I worked for a print publication and became friendly with its very engaging food columnist, initially over a shared love of MFK Fisher. When he landed an interview with her, and not just an interview but lunch at her house, I extracted vows to Tell All afterwards. When he came back to NY, I grabbed him — so?? Toklas forward, Fisher is primarily interested in only two things; her obsession over Ms. She goes off on a wild tear about how she knew Ms Toklas so well from reading her, and The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook have been afforded a face to face. Toklas lay like a sightless, speechless vegetable. Toklas, I'll go with her delectable sounding artichoke recipes. Fisher even snipes that daily she bought Ms. Fisher finally gets to the writing of the cookbook, but has to point out that as Ms. She writes of her equal love for America and for France, her adopted home, and how their differences in approach to cooking and to dining inspired the cookbook. Toklas cookbook is still in print 65 years after it first appeared. So Fooey to you Mary Frances although I still love How to Cook a Wolf, but The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook yourself lucky nobody will ever ask me to write an introduction for it. Toklas: 20, MFK MFK Fisher really is insufferable. Reading her introduction, followed by Toklas's friendly, unpretentious book, really just points out what an asshat and classist Fisher was. That said, Toklas is not much of a writer, and she knows it. Read Download The Alice B Toklas Cookbook PDF – PDF Download I hardly ever write things down anymore; I speak them into my phone.

For gay or straight, male or female, richer or poorer. Of course, when Mr. Isengart starts to work in a home, it is often a multimillion-dollar brownstone or lavish penthouse uptown. But one feature is consistent. He usually finds the kitchens loaded with gadgets but lacking heart or hearth. This is where he steps in. His book provides a blueprint for kindling this love flame of dough-mysticity in your own The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook. It includes recipes adapted from Ms. Toklas, as well as dozens of his own honed while singing for supper-club audiences while working as a caterer for demanding socialites in Manhattan and the Hamptons. Isengart writes. Each pie, galette or cake recipe is accompanied by pithy stories, with insider dish as important as ingredients. Readers become flies on the wall at events like a dinner party at the Dakota to which Daniel Bouludthe exacting restaurateur, had been invited as a guest. When the wild mushroom risotto came out, Mr. Boulud sent it right back in, accompanying it into the kitchen. While working the Met Costume Ball, Mr. Isengart observed Madonna like a cake under a glass dome.

THE RADICAL EKPHRASIS OF GERTRUDE STEIN’S TENDER BUTTONS A Thesis Presented by Georgia Googer to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in English May, 2018 Defense Date: March 21, 2018 Thesis Examination Committee: Mary Louise Kete, Ph.D., Advisor Melanie S. Gustafson, Ph.D., Chairperson Eric R. Lindstrom, Ph.D. Cynthia J. Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT This thesis offers a reading of Gertrude Stein’s 1914 prose poetry collection, Tender Buttons, as a radical experiment in ekphrasis. A project that began with an examination of the avant-garde imagism movement in the early twentieth century, this thesis notes how Stein’s work differs from her Imagist contemporaries through an exploration of material spaces and objects as immersive sensory experiences. This thesis draws on late twentieth century attempts to understand and define ekphrastic poetry before turning to Tender Buttons.

  • Writing Celebrity: Modernism, Authorial Personas, and Self-Promotion in the Early Twentieth Century United States
    Writing Celebrity: Modernism, Authorial Personas, and Self-Promotion in the Early Twentieth Century United States Timothy W. Galow A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Linda Wagner-Martin (Director) Erin Carlston (Chair) María DeGuzmán John McGowan Janice Radway ABSTRACT Timothy W. Galow: Writing Celebrity: Modernism, Authorial Personas, and Self- Promotion in the Early Twentieth Century United States (Under the direction of Linda Wagner-Martin, Erin Carlston, John McGowan, Maria Deguzmán, and Janice Radway) “Writing Celebrity” argues that the rise of a national celebrity culture at the turn of the twentieth century transformed cultural production in the United States. While most literary studies of this period focus on the relationship between elite authors and the mass market, I assert that the influence of personality marketing transcended traditional aesthetic categories and reshaped the profession of authorship for both “highbrow” and “lowbrow” writers. Against this backdrop, my work traces the impact that an emergent celebrity culture had on the careers of Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Drawing on archival documents, literary texts, and various extant publicity materials, I examine how both of these authors attempted to market distinctive personas and the various ways in which readers and critics responded to their public identities. Gertrude Stein, immediately following the runaway success of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas , theorized an authorial identity that exists only in the very instant of creation and instills texts with permanent value.

All rights reserved. This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. Microform Edition © ProQuest LLC. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis provides a contextualizing approach to Gertrude Stein’s The Making of Americans (1903-1911), using her notebooks, correspondence and college compositions dating from the 1890s, as well as the more well-known Femhurst, QED, and ‘Melanctha’; the study ends in 1911. Each chapter discusses representative texts with which Stein was familiar, and which had a discernible effect on the themes and style of the novel. In view of a critical tradition which has often obscured her nineteenth-century contexts, this reading provides a clearer definition of the social and intellectual environment which shaped her literary experiment. In chapter 1 I consider the influence of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Women and Economics (1898). Stein’s college themes and the speech, ‘The Value of College Education for Women’ (1898), reveal her feelings about the possibility of female creativity.

  • Subjects, Objects, and the Fetishisms of Modernity in the Works of Gertrude Stein
    Subjects, Objects, and the Fetishisms of Modernity in the Works of Gertrude Stein KATE LIVETT A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UNSW Submitted for examination August 2006 Abstract This thesis reopens the question of subject/object relations in the works of Gertrude Stein, to argue that the fetishisms theorised by Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and later Walter Benjamin and Michael Taussig, and problematised by feminist critics such as Elizabeth Grosz, are central to the structure of those relations. My contribution to Stein scholarship is twofold, and is reflected in the division of my thesis into Part One and Part Two. Part One of this thesis establishes a model for reading the interconnections between subjects and objects in Stein’s work; it identifies a tension between two related yet different structures. The first is a fetishistic relation of subjects to objects, associated by Stein with materiality and nineteenth-century Europe, and the identity categories of the “genius” and the “collector”. The second is a “new” figuration of late modernity in which the processual and tacility are central. This latter is associated by Stein with America and the twentieth century, and was a structure that she, along with other modernist artists, was developing. Further, Part One shows how these competing structures of subject/object relations hinge on Stein’s problematic formulations of self, nation, and artistic production. Part Two uses the model established in Part One to examine the detailed playing- out of the tensions and dilemmas of subject/object relations within several major Stein texts.

  • PPT-The Lost Generation
    The Lost Generation “Listen, Robert, going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.” The Sun Also Rises, pg. 19 . What is the Lost Generation? Literally, it is the generation of people born between 1883 and 1900. They were disillusioned by World War I. Known in Europe as the “1914 Generation” or the Génération au Feu. But… The Other Lost Generation The phrase was coined by Gertrude Stein (spoken to Hemingway): “You are all a lost generation.” Group of American writers in the Post-World War One era who were: Displeased with American social values, sexual and aesthetic conventions, and established morality First fled to cities such as Chicago and San Francisco; then to Paris, London, Madrid, Barcelona, and Rome (in particular, Montparnasse). Disillusioned by World War One. All pioneered new ways of writing, rebelling against the traditional Victorian literary style. Included writers such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Gertrude Stein, and T.S. Eliot Included several painters as well, such as Waldo Peirce. Paris Between 1921 and 1924, the number of Americans in Paris grew from 6,000 to 30,000. Paris was the prime city in which the “bohemian” Lost Generation chose to wander. Montparnasse Montparnasse served as the heart of artistic creativity and intellect in Paris after the war. Contained many cheap studios, apartments, and was also an area filled with important cafes (Le Dome, La Closerie des Lilas, La Rotonde, and Le Select) and other nightlife.

  • Picasso by Stein
    PICASSO BY STEIN By Mia Minjung You A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Charles Altieri, Chair Professor Lyn Hejinian Professor Damon Young Summer 2017 ABSTRACT Picasso by Stein by Mia Minjung You Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Charles Altieri, Chair Picasso by Stein contains five sections and a postscript that are structurally linked by, and radiating widely from, Gertrude Stein’s 1938 booklet Picasso. The booklet originally was written and published in French (an exceptional endeavor for Stein) and then translated to English by Alice Toklas and significantly re-edited by Stein. This dissertation offers a comparative study of the French and English publications as well as considers the role and function of art criticism and biographical writing within Stein’s oeuvre, particularly in how they overlap with or become part of her broader poetic project. Rather than reading Picasso to glean express information on Pablo Picasso’s art, or to correlate Stein’s projects with Picasso’s in order to explicate, or to add luster, to her writing, I argue that Stein figures the rise of modern art, illustrated through Picasso, as the development of a language-based and ultimately poetic thinking in pictures. Stein’s insights into Picasso’s achievements – with her studies ranging from Young Girl With a Basket of Flowers (1905) to Guernica (1938) – are as necessary to understanding his role in modern art as the writings of Guillaume Apollinaire and David-Henry Kahnweiler, and they direct us to the foundational, but often overlooked, presence of poetry in the trajectory of twentieth and twenty-first century art.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* This manuscript is made available for research purposes.
