The Web of Friendship: Marianne Moore and Wallace Stevens

The Web of Friendship offers a lively critical account of the little-known and long-lived poetic and personal relationship between two important American Modernist poets: Marianne Moore (1887-1972) and Wallace Stevens (1879-1955). Throughout their careers, Moore and Stevens studied each other's poetry, reviewed each other's volumes, edited and offered advice about each other's projects, and wrote poems directly addressed to one another. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival material - manuscripts, marginalia, letters, and diaries - this book charts the chronological development of a literary friendship
