Annotation |
Gutorow traces here the impact of Weil's thought on the work of Wallace Stevens. He notes particularly, Stevens’s attraction to the use of aphorisms, something that would draw him to Weil's work published in Gravity and Grace. Gutorow also spends considerable time discussing Weil's notion of decreation and Steven's response to and interpretation of it in his work. |
