Upon initial publication in 1956, this book was an attempt to
re-state certain problems concerning the aesthetics and ethics of
the tragic form; to examine these in relation to contemporary work
in psychology and anthropology; to enquire into the significance of
'the fact or experience called tragedy' in the modern world; and to
suggest a synthesis in terms of the Christian tradition. This is a
reissue of the corrected second edition of the work, first
published in 1966.
First published in 1965, this reissue of the second edition of T.
R. Henn's seminal study offers an impressive breadth and depth of
meditations on the poetry of W. B. Yeats. His life and influences
are discussed at length, from the impact of the Irish Rebellion
upon his youth, to his training as a painter, to the influence of
folklore, occultism and Indian philosophy on his work. Henn seeks
out the many elements of Yeats' famously complex personality, as
well as analysing the dominant symbols of his work, and their
ramifications.
