A pairing of literary and biographical interpretation, this title follows Steven's poetry through the lens of its dominant metaphor - the seasons of nature ? to illuminate the poet's personal life experiences reflected there. Lensing argues that Steven?s seasonal poetry assuaged a profound and persistent personal loneliness.
This fruitful pairing of literary and biographical interpretation follows Wallace Stevens's poetry through the lens of its dominant metaphor- the seasons of nature- and illuminates the poet's personal life experiences reflected there. From Stevens's first collection, Harmonium (1923), to his last poems written shortly before his death in 1955, George S. Lensing offers clear and detailed examination of Stevens's seasonal poetry, including extensive discussions of Autumn Refrain, The Snow Man, The World as Meditation, and Credences of Summer. Drawing upon a vast knowledge of the poet, Lensing argues that Stevens's pastoral poetry of the seasons assuaged a profound and persistent personal loneliness. An important scholarly assessment of a major twentieth-century modernist, Wallace Stevens and the Seasons also serves as an appealing introduction to Stevens.
