New Editions of Gertrude Stein

Yale University Press is publishing new editions of Gertrude Stein’s novel Ida and poem Stanzas in Meditation. Publishers Weekly:

In the two new Yale University Press editions of Gertrude Stein’s works, the novel Ida and the experimental poem Stanzas in Meditation (both out January 17), readers will find comprehensive criticism and working drafts of the works, the latter of which reveals the fraught and jealous relationship Stein had with her lover and editor Alice B. Toklas.
