Session Description:

In a TLS review of Aidan Wasley's The Age of Auden, W. H. Auden is pitted against Wallace Stevens: the latter's influence on postwar American poetry is downplayed in favor of the underestimated role played by the former. This roundtable considers the relations between the two: their aesthetics and critical essays, their poetic practice, and their respective influence on postwar American poetry.

Subject:

• American Literature – Twentieth Century
