When Opus Posthumous first appeared in 1957, it was an appropriate capstone to the career of one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. It included many poems missing from Stevens's Collected Poems, along with Stevens's characteristically inventive prose and pieces for the theater.

Now Milton J. Bates, the author of the acclaimed Wallace Stevens: A Mythology of Self, has edited and revised Opus Posthumous to correct the previous edition's errors and to incorporate material that has come to light since original publication. A third of the poems and essays in this edition are new to the volume. The resulting book is an invaluable literary document whose language and insights are fresh, startling, and eloquent.

About Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, attended Harvard for three years, and took a degree from New York Law School in 1903. He joined the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company in 1916 and became its vice president in 1934, a position he held for the rest of his life. His first book, Harmonium (Alfred A. Knopf, 1923), sold few copies on publication. Later volumes include Ideas of Order (1935), The Man with the Blue Guitar (1937), and The Auroras of Autumn (1950). His Collected Poems (1954) won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
