Private Amusement or Public Salvation? The Poetry of Wallace Stevens

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1974, rptd. 1977. 222 pp. Books in Print now lists eighteen books titled Wallace Stevens. The two under consideration here claim that his poems reward us for remarkably different reasons. Read them, Susan Weston says, and we "find the world robed in the imag…
A Markov Field Grammar for English
Using the Permutational Model to Predict Grammatical Patterns
The study concerns grammaticality as defined by degree of disruption of Scott's (1969) subject--verb-object-qualifier (SVOQ) sentence. Experiment I demonstrated that use of ambiguous qualifiers such that the meaning of sentences of SQVO or SVQO form could be re-interpreted caused relatively high grammatical judgments, whereas use of non-ambiguous qualifiers depressed judgments. Experiment II (using English words) and Experiment III (using inflect…
Poet's Gods: Stevens' Words, Jeffers' World-as-God
Adalaide Kirby Morris. Wallace Stevens, Imagina- tion and Faith. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1974. 205 pp. Robert J. Brophy.

Cleveland: Case Western Reserve University Press. 1973. 321pp. Two white upper-middle-class conservative male poets raised as Presby- terians in the same language, time, and country could hardly produce less similar poetry than did Wallace Stevens…
Two Field-Kernels for Curses in English
Validating the Permutational Test of Grammaticality
The permutational test of grammaticality employs the notion of a kernel sentence, defined as subject-verb-object-qualifier (SVOQ). Three experiments are reported leading to the following conclusions: (1) an index measuring progressive disruption of the kernel yielded Pearson r's of .65 to .84 with mean numbers of grammatical judgments of the 23 permutations of SVOQ. (2) When the index of disruption is relatively low subjects tend to reinterpret t…
