Michel Benamou's essays have established his reputation as a critical
interpreter of Stevens' relation to the French poetic tradition. Mr.
Benamou has now collected these essays in one volume, revising and
expanding them, and has added a general introduction. He discusses, in
turn, Stevens' affinities with and differences from Baudelaire,
Laforgue, Mallarme, Apollinaire, the Impressionists, and the Cubists.
