Part of the Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature series
See all formats and editions

This work undertakes a thorough re-reading of Yeats' oeuvre as an extended meditation on the image and theme of the heart as it is evident within the poetry.

It places the heart at the centre of a complex web of Yeatsian preoccupations and associations - from the biographical, to the poetic and philosophical, to the mythological and mystical.

In particular, it unlocks Yeats' mystifying aesthetic vision via his understanding of the ancient Egyptian 'Weighing of the Heart' ceremony.
