Yeats: Heart Mysteries","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnlocking the Poetry of W.B. Yeats\u003c\/em\u003e 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, the book seeks to unlock Yeats' mystifying aesthetic vision via his understanding of the ancient Egyptian \"Weighing of the Heart\" ceremony. The work provides a chronological narrative arc that looks to use the theme of the heart as it recurs in the poetry in order to circumvent and overcome more established frameworks. Its purpose is to offer refreshing ways of conceptualizing and building alternatives to more deeply entrenched, but not entirely satisfactory arguments that have been offered since Yeats' death in 1939, while demonstrating the centrality of the occult to Yeats' art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Tompsett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113860674X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138606746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Daniel Tompsett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113281466623,"sku":"9781138606746","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc976dee-f740-4be0-b1f4-61b93808f27a.jpg?v=1769614063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unlocking-the-poetry-of-w-daniel-tompsett-9781138606746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
