Religion and Politics in the Poetry of W.B. Yeats

Description: Previous critics have paid insufficient attention to the political implications of Yeats's life-long preoccupation with a wide range of Western and Eastern religious traditions. Though he always preserved some skepticism about mysticism's ability to reshape the material world, the early Yeats valued the mystical idea of oneness in part because he hoped (mistakenly, as it turned out) that such oneness would bring Catholic and Protestant Ireland together in a way that might make the goals of Iris… more

Religion as a Factor in the Literary Career of Nathaniel Hawthorne

We know from his work that he had a religion, but his silence leaves ample room for conjecture if we wish to "label" him, or decide which of those relig… more
