Geography and Plays
Geography and Plays is a 1922 collection of Gertrude Stein’s “word portraits,” or stream-of-consciousness writings. These stream-of-consciousness experiments, rhythmical essays or “portraits”, were designed to evoke “the excitingness of pure being” and can be seen as literature’s answer to Cubism, plasticity, and collage. Although the book has been described as “a marvellous and painstaking achievement in setting down approximately 80,000 words which mean nothing at all,” it is considered to be one of Stein’s seminal works.

London Plane-Tree and Other Verse
Amy Levy was a British poet and novelist who is celebrated for her feminist positions and her engagement with homosexual romance during the Victorian era. Levy wrote stories, essays, and poems for periodicals, some popular and others literary. Her writing career began early; her poem “Ida Grey” appearing in the journal, The Pelican, when she was only fourteen. Her final book of poems, A London Plane-Tree And Other Verse (1889), contains lyrics that are among the first to show the influence of French symbolism.

Dreams and Realities
This is a volume of poetry by Rosa Muholland. The poetry in this volume is varied, some read like fairy tales, some have a slightly sinister aspect. All poems share the very skillful execution of the verses, and the beauty of the images they evoke. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]
