About This Item
New York : Liveright, (1971). First edition. "The three writings issued in this volume - two for the first time and the longer Q.E.D. in a corrected edition - represent the first steps of Gertrude Stein's literary progress". "Fernhurst", begun in 1904, is a fictional account of a scandalous love triangle; the slightly earlier "Q.E.D." is a suppressed autobiographical novel concerning another love triangle, while the family saga of "The Making of Americans" appears in the form of an unpublished early draft. With a note on the texts by Donald Gallup and a lengthy introduction by Leon Katz. Demy 8vo (23cm). [8],xxxiv,214pp. Original black cloth, blocked and lettered in gilt and blind; a few specks on top edge, but otherwise a very good, bright, clean, and sound copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket with some mild rubbing, a couple of small scratches, and some very minor wear, but also very good. re
