W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, H. D., and David Jones, major
poets of the early twentieth century, were fully involved in the
historic conflict between religion and science. Jacob Korg's study
illuminates the manner in which they attempted to overcome the
division between the two cultures - by incorporating elements of
religious ritual as well as scientific experiment in their poems.
Known primarily as innovators who devised new methods of artistic
expression, these poets also employed ritual, a form even more
ancient than myth, side by side with their experimental ventures.
Through close study of their major poems, Korg shows that the
interplay between these apparently contradictory principles was a
persistent theme of modern poetry that played an important part in
the poetic revolution of the time.
