New Gertrude Stein Recordings

Penn Sound has added several new audio recordings from January 30, 1935 on their Gertrude Stein page. “These recordings of Stein were made by Columbia Professor of English and Comparative Literature George W. Hibbitt for a record produced by the National Council of Teachers of English, to be distributed to schools on a subscription basis. This series is known as The Contemporary Poets Series, which was started with the recording of Vachel Lindsay by Hibbitt’s colleague W. Cabell Greet in 1931.” Visit Jacket 2 for more of the historical context for these recordings.
