Abstract
This dissertation focuses upon Fredric Jameson's essay 'Exoticism and Structuralism in Wallace Stevens', which concerns the American poet's writings and their relevance to contemporary culture. ... This paper ultimately supports Fredric Jameson's assertion that Stevens cultivated a style that favours impersonality and abstract universality over the Romantic individualism that is typical of Modernist poetry in English.
