Keane questions established understandings of the Irish poet's long fascination with the occult: a fixation that repelled literary contemporaries T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, but which enhanced Yeats's vision of life and death.Making the Void FruitfulOccultism in literatureOccultism in literature.809.9337Keane Patrick J.1107331NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910774759803321Making the Void Fruitful3084709UNINA
