Stevens lived in New York from 1900 to 1916, working briefly as a journalist, going to law school, laboriously starting up a career as a lawyer, getting engaged and married, gradually mixing with local avant-garde circles, and eventually emerging as one of the most exciting and surprising voices in modern poetry. Although he then left the city for a job in Hartford, Stevens never saw himself as a Hartford poet and kept gravitating toward New York for nearly all things that mattered to him privately and poetically: visits to galleries and museums, theatrical and musical performances, intellectual and artistic gatherings, shopping sprees and gastronomical indulgences. 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 volume deepens our understanding of the multiple ways in which New York and its various aesthetic attractions figured in Stevens' life, both at a biographical and poetic level"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature 606 $aPoets, American$y20th century$vBiography 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xIn literature 615 0$aPoets, American 676 $a811/.52 676 $aB 686 $aLIT004020$aLIT014000$aLIT000000$2bisacsh 701 $aEeckhout$b Bart$f1964-$0859531 701 $aGoldfarb$b Lisa$01163727 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818655603321 996 $aWallace Stevens, New York, and modernism$94095272 997 $aUNINA
