Stevens at the Crossing
By Denis Donoghue
Wallace Stevens: The Poems of Our Climate
by Harold Bloom
Cornell University Press, 413 pp., $17.50
Harold Bloom's new book is not only an interpretation of Wallace Stevens's major poems but a sustained application of the theory of literary history which he first outlined in The Anxiety of Influence (1973). It may be useful to recite the theory before considering its bearing upon Stevens.
