The modernist poetry of Wallace Stevens is replete with moments of
theorizing. Stevens regarded poetry as an abstract medium through
which to think about and theorize not only philosophical concepts
like metaphor and reality, but also a unifying thesis about the
nature of poetry itself. At the same time, literary theorists and
philosophers have often turned to Stevens as a canonical reference
point and influence. In the centenary year of Wallace Stevens’s
first collection Harmonium (1923), this collection asks what it
means to theorize with Stevens today. Through a range of critical
and theoretical perspectives, this book seeks to describe the
myriad kinds of thinking sponsored by Stevens’s poetry and
explores how contemporary literary theory might be invigorated
through readings of Stevens.
