The article discusses books and authors. Somewhat unwarily, American author Gertrude Stein remarked in 1946 that she had always wanted to be historical. Author Elizabeth Sprigge in "Gertrude Stein: Her Life and Work," proceeding as unwarily to treat Gertrude Stein's life and writing as historical fact, has touched off a loud, reverberating series of imprecations, especially in England, upon Gertrude Stein as an historical fact and figure. Some of this indignation has side- swiped the biography itself, which is not so unskilled as it is cracked up to be. It is, as intended, a quite objective account, therefore limited.
