Wallace Stevens is a major American poet and a central figure in modernist studies and twentieth-century poetry. This Companion introduces students to his work. An international team of distinguished contributors presents a unified picture of Stevens' poetic achievement. The Introduction explains why Stevens is among the world's great poets and offers specific guidance on how to read and appreciate his poetry. A brief biographical sketch anchors Stevens in the real world and illuminates important personal and intellectual influences. The essays following chart Stevens' poetic career and his affinities with both earlier and contemporary writers, artists, and philosophers. Other essays introduce students to the peculiarity and distinctiveness of Stevens' voice and style. They explain prominent themes in his work and explore the nuances of his aesthetic theory. With a detailed chronology and a guide to further reading, this Companion provides all the information a student or scholar of Stevens will need.

Better than previously reviewed - Take it from an English PhD candidate

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2007

Contrary to the opinion of the previous review, this book offers an insightful overview of the nuances Stevens' work touches upon. Included in this work is information regarding his own life, his struggle with politics and poetry, a look at the multiple personae he used as his 'voices' when writing, his link to the Romantic poets, his use of the seasons, etc. While some of these essays could be a bit longer (As I would like to see), they are written by some of the top contemporary critics of Stevens and Modern Poetry. If you are at all interested in Stevens, this is not a bad place to begin reading criticism. These essays provide excellent introductions into some of the questions lurking around Stevens' rather opaque poetry.

Good overall introduction to Wallace Stevens

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2011

I must agree with the "English PhD candidate" reviewer. The Cambridge Companions are usually solid. Stevens' poetry is complex, and draws on many different fields such as painting and philosophy. The essays in this volume will shed light on how they influenced his poetry. Stevens' poetry also matured over time in very delicate ways. The essay "Stevens' late poetry" in this volume will help readers to appreciate these subtle changes.

However, I must caution that some essays read too much into the poetry. This is not a flaw of this book per se, but rather an unfortunate tendency in contemporary criticism. For example, the essay on how Stevens' view of God has gradually become a kind of "difference" seems to have too much Derrida lurking in the background.
