'Jeux de mots' celebrates the creative power of wordplay from Rabelais to present times. Puns, portmanteaus, bon mots, neologisms, fetish-words: this collective volume focuses on literary wordplay in very different fields such as literary onomastics and constrained writing, both in prose and in poetry. Specialists in the field show how, from Rabelais to Richard Millet through Roussel and Roubaud and from Mallarmé to Fargue through Apollinaire and nonsense verse, prose and poetry explore the productivity of words, their power of metamorphosis and their capacity to make meaning shift. The volume ends with a section on wordplay in philosophy and the cinema.

In the first full-length study of Wallace Stevens's word-play, Eleanor Cook focuses on Stevens's skillful play with grammar, etymology, allusion, and other elements of poetry, and suggests ways in which this play offers a method of approaching his work. At the same time, this book is a general study of Stevens's poetry, moving from his earliest to his latest work, and includes close readings of three of his remarkable long poems--Esthetique du Mal, Notes toward a Supreme Fiction, and An Ordinary Evening in New Haven. The chronological arrangement enables readers to follow Stevens's increasing skill and changing thought in three areas of his "poetry of the earth": the poetry of place, the poetry of eros, and the poetry of belief.Poetry, Word-Play, and Word-War in Wallace Stevens shows how, in setting words at play and in conflict, Stevens could upset the usual relations of rhetoric, grammar, and dialectic, and thus the book contributes to the current debate about logical and a-logical uses of language. Cook also places Stevens within the larger context of Western literature, hearing how he speaks to Milton, Keats, and Wordsworth; to such American forebears as Whitman, Emerson, and Dickinson; and to T. S. Eliot, his contemporary.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
