本文旨在探討史蒂文斯對主體性的處理。史蒂文斯相當關注浪漫主義所標舉的想像力問題，不斷於詩作中探索心識，現實，與虛構三者在書寫中，夾纏交錯的互動聯結。對一些研究現代詩的批評學者而言，浪漫主義深植於主體形上論，而史蒂文斯重回浪漫主義所建構的想像力觀念，終究難以跳脫主體中心主義，甚至是唯我論的藩籬。本文將指出，史蒂文斯的詩作事實上正質疑著主體形上論。史蒂文斯所提出的「終極虛設」的詩觀與實踐，將想像力的問題推向對主體質性的叩問，進而揭示主體之虛設結構，一如詩作等想像力的產物。

This paper tries to explore Wallace Stevens's poetic treatment of subjectivity. Being concerned with the Romantic issue of the imagination, Stevens has made various attempts at poeticizing the intricate interactions of mind, reality, and fiction involved in the process of writing. For some critics, these attempts, addressing the Romantic construction of imagination, are so encumbered by the metaphysics of the subject embedded in Romanticism that they are, ultimately, articulating a subjectivist, even solipsistic, poetics. This paper argues that Stevens's works actually put the metaphysics of the subject at stake. Propounding the idea of poetry as "supreme fictions," Stevens makes further explorations into the issue of imagination and exposes the subject as fictive construction.
