The Text of Wallace Stevens's COLLECTED POEMS

FAIN: FT-54851-07

The project will attempt to establish an ideal text for Wallace Stevens's COLLECTED POEMS. In addition, it will collate all texts of Stevens's poems that have some claim to authority, establish a theory of text. The project also describes Stevens's compositional process, especially his strategies for revision. This process has been much neglected.
