In this pioneering scholarly work on occult symbols in literature,
the reader is offered a vivid look into how W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot,
and Franz Kafka_three masters of symbolic expression_utilized Tarot
cards in their poetry and prose. Focusing on the Tarot's ancient
associations with divine knowledge, its pictorial representation of
both the Jewish and Christian Cabala, and the Tarot's more recent
pedestrian affiliation with the occult, June Leavitt skillfully
demonstrates how Yeats, Eliot, and Kafka align themselves in their
uniquely individual ways with the Tarot symbols' mapping of
reality. Paying close attention to the mystical nuances of the
Tarot, Ms. Leavitt shows how Tarot symbols allow for radically new
readings of the texts in which they are situated, and play a
transformative role in the three writers' search for God. This
search remained indecisive for Kafka, resulted in Eliot's
conversion to Anglo-Catholicism, and went hand in hand with Yeats'
passion for pagan gods and angels. Visit the author's website at
