Surveying the later work of W.B. Yeats and Wallace Stevens, Edward Clarke unfolds their very last poems and considers the two poets' relations with westernliterature and tradition. This book shows how these two latecomers transform the ways in which we read earlier poets. EDWARD CLARKE tutors visiting students in English literature at St Catherine's College, Oxford University, UK. He has published work in the 'Wallace Stevens Journal', and contributed to 'Essays and Reflections on John Berryman' (2006) and 'The Greenwood Encyclopaedia of American Poetry and Poetics '(2006).
