Summary

"Wallace Stevens is generally considered one of the great twentieth century American poets. This book aims to provide an in-depth introduction to the multifaceted life and times of Wallace Stevens. In thirty-six short essays, an international team of distinguished scholars have created a comprehensive overview of Stevens's life and the world of his poetry. Individual chapters relate Stevens to such important contexts as the large Western movements of romanticism and modernism; particular American and European philosophical traditions; contemporary and later poets; the professional realms of law and insurance; the parallel art forms of painting, music, and theater; his publication history, critical reception, and international reputation. Other chapters address topics of current interest like war, politics, religion, race and the feminine. Informed by the latest developments in the field, but written in clear, jargon-free prose, Wallace Stevens in Context is an indispensable introduction to this great modern poet"--
