More about the book

Focusing on the influence of W.B. Yeats, this critical study explores the connections between his work and that of Robinson Jeffers. It highlights shared themes such as imagery, landscape, and a belief in eternal recurrence, alongside a mutual skepticism of rationalism and a commitment to tradition. The author delves into how both poets envisioned modernity while rejecting contemporary values, ultimately crafting poetry aimed at transforming societal norms.
