Book Description
In this study Daniel R. Schwarz argues that the narrative and representational aspects of Stevens’s poetry have been neglected in favour of readings that stress his word play and rhetoricity. Schwarz shows how Stevens’s concept of representation is deeply influenced by modern painters such as Picasso and Duchamp. He shows that Stevens’s poetry needs to be understood in terms of a number of major contexts: the American tradition of Emerson and Whitman, the Romantic movement, and the Modernist tradition.
