"Not Unordered": Gertrude Stein's Numbers.
Gertrude Stein frequently uses number words, and critics have used mathematical frameworks to describe her writing, especially her use of repetition. Across her oeuvre, Stein manipulates the semantic and syntactic rules of English, and she equally manipulates numbers. Instead of identifying quantiti...

Across her oeuvre, Stein manipulates the semantic and syntactic rules of English, and she equally manipulates numbers. Instead of identifying quantities, Stein's number words, and her attention to counting, illustrate the conceptual and semiotic trouble of conveying mathematics in language. In Tender Buttons (1914) and "An Instant Answer or A Hundred Prominent Men" (1928), Stein's numbers are grammatical and phenomenological; they are not instances of counting or of the countable. Her theory of repetition, in fact, disallows countability. To count her repetitions and to treat her numbers as static is to subscribe to the social phenomenon of authority that is typically given to numbers rather than to engage number words as they uniquely act in Stein's poetic texts. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Modern Literature is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
