Description: "Stevens, Williams, Crane and the Motive for Metaphor not only provides the reader with a better understanding of these poets' best work, but also reveals the major differences that distinguish these three great contemporaries and contribute to their very personal styles. Considering Aristotle and Derrida, and taking account of recent theoretical work, Rehder offers an interpretation of why metaphor is fundamental to our thinking and to poetry."--Jacket.
