Opis

The first full-length study of its kind, "The Figure Concealed" explores the multiple parallels between two great, 20th-century poets, Wallace Stevens Paul Valery. Bringing poet s works into conversation, the book focuses on the resonance of Valery s musical ideas in Stevens s poetic theory and practice with a look at the interlacing of their work poetically and philosophically. Stevens s letters, essays, and poems are examined alongside Valery s notebooks, essays, and poems, making this an important contribution to studies of modern poetry that will appeal to all those interested in the relationship between music and poetry, the arts more broadly, as well as aesthetics and philosophy."
