Abstract/Description
-
A detailed analysis of Wallace Stevens's poetics reveals close parallels with Aristotle's theory of mimesis. These parallels are most notable in regard to the definition of mimesis as it pertains to poetry, language, nature, reality, and imagination. An exploration of these parallels firmly establishes Stevens as an Aristotelian, and therefore provides an important aid in understanding his use of poetic devices such as diction, metaphor, and persona.
