Book Synopsis Wallace Stevens, New York, and Modernism by : Lisa Goldfarb
Book excerpt: This collection of critical essays considers the impact of New York City on the life and works of Wallace Stevens. Recent criticism of the poet has sought to understand how Stevens interacted with the literary, artistic, and cultural forces of his time to forge his inimitable aesthetic, with its peculiar mix of post-romantic responses to nature and a metropolitan cosmopolitanism. This book examines New York's influence at both the biographical and poetic levels, deepening our understanding of the poet.
