Reviews

Quirk takes us on an intensely satisfying journey through Bergson's thought and American vogue as they became an important source in Cather's fiction and Stevens's poetry. Amid the critically limited depreciation of literature fashionable in recent years, here is a splendid work of literary scholarship and enjoyable interpretation that is coherent, appreciative, illuminating, and extremely readable. --Kermit Vanderbilt, San Diego State University

Quirk's study adds a dimension to our thinking about Stevens and Cather that must affect the way we read them. -- Wallace Stevens Journal Quirk takes us on an intensely satisfying journey through Bergson's thought and American vogue as they became an important source in Cather's fiction and Stevens's poetry.
