1. The abstract impulse: from anecdote to 'new romantic' in Harmonium (1923) and Ideas of Order (1935)
2. The turn to abstraction: Owl's Clover (1936) and the 'un-locatable' speaker in The Man with the Blue Guitar (1937)
3. The 'in-visible' abstract: Stevens' idealism from Coleridge to Merleau-Ponty
4. Abstract figures: the curious case of the idealist 'I'
5. Abstract appetites: food, wine and the idealist 'I'
6. The pure good of theory: a new abstract emphasis
7. Bourgeois abstraction: poetry, painting and the idea of mastery in late Stevens.
