Description
Emphasizing the interplay of aesthetic forms and religious modes, the author's ambitious study takes up the endlessly reiterated longing for paradise that features throughout the works of W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. Yeats and Pound define poetry in terms of paradise and paradise in terms of poetry, the author suggests, and these complex interconnections fundamentally shape the development of their art. Throughout his study, the author argues that Yeats and Pound reconceive the quest for paradise as a quest for a new kind of poetry, a journey that he traces by analysing unpublished manuscript drafts and newly published drafts that have received little attention.
