An Immaterial World
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter follows James Merrill’s poetic interest in “immaterials,” which he uses to describe the touch of affection, alongside the synchronous rise in the abstraction of home value and its inextricable connection to Merrill’s father’s company, Merrill Lynch. The chapter looks closely at The Changing Light at Sandover not so much as a critique of housing finance, as an instance of the shared revolution of value in both finance and aesthetic perception. The renovations of rooms, ongoing for Merrill, are brought into conversation with the revision of the poems set in them and contrasted with the mania for rapid development that Merrill often denigrated.
