"The term literary movements is a gathering of authors and works presenting the same main ideas, in texts that can have a program value or even a manifesto value. It can be a literary school, with its doctrine, its gathering signs, its chiefs. It can also be (more flexible) a movement that, without creating a school, offers an esthetic unity and a strong ideology."
This extract is the definition of the literary mouvements that is given in school books for high school students.
There are lots of literary movements, going from well-known to very little and unfollowed genres, that last for some very long, but for others only a few years. It exists so many of them that today, it is sometimes hard to classify some works in a particular one.
Gertrude Stein, in her whole work, created a melting pot of many of them, depending on the books she wrote. She was the most qualified as being a master in the art of realism, surrealism and hyperrealism, including of course some other literary movements in three of them. We are going to study the links between them and the belonging of Gertrude Stein to the three main movements of our presentation. We would divide our reflection in three distinct parts, devoting an article to each of them.
