Author: Eleanor Cook
In the first full-length study of Wallace Stevens’s word-play, Eleanor Cook focuses on Stevens’s skillful play with grammar, etymology, allusion, and other elements of poetry, and suggests ways in which this play offers a method of approaching his work. At the same time, this book is a general study of Stevens’s poetry, moving from his earliest to his latest work, and includes close readings of three of his remarkable long poems–Esthetique du Mal, Notes toward a Supreme Fiction, and An Ordinary Evening in New Haven. The chronological arrangement enables readers to follow Stevens’s increasing skill and changing thought in three areas of his “poetry of the earth”: the poetry of place, the poetry of eros, and the poetry of belief.
