Synopsis

From Milton to Yeats, great poets have boldly asserted the truth of the imagination. In this study the force of their ionary thought is re-evaluated, and connections made between Milton or Shelley, Blake or Yeats, and modern esoteric ideas. ion is understood not as speation, but as truth to the whole range of human experience. Traditional forms of apocalypse and gnosis are also discussed in relation to literature. The author offers a new interpretation of Milton's "Paradise Lost" and a discussion of the poet's Christianity, orientations of the work of Blake and Shelley against a European background and a new theory of Yeats' "A ion" are included.
