Marianne Moore and Women's Experimental Writing
A contrast between the modernism of Gertrude Stein and that of
Marianne Moore shows how what one could call a particularly American
attitude towards the body runs through experimental writing of the
twentieth century. The paper discusses one point of contrast between
Stein's transatlantic modernism and Moore's own stay-at-home version,
exploring some of the development of Moore's modernism and part of its
conceptual background.
