Описание: When H. P. Blavatsky, the controversial head of the turn of the century movement Theosophy, defined a true Theosophist in her book The Key to Theosophy, she could have just as easily have been describing W. B. Yeats. Blavatsky writes, A true Theosophist must put in practice the loftiest moral ideal, must strive to realize his unity with the whole of humanity, and work ceaselessly for others. Although Yeats joined Blavatskys group in 1887, and subsequently left to help form The Golden Dawn in 1890, Yeatss career as poet and politician were very much in line with the methods set forth by Blavatskys doctrine. My project explores how Yeats employs this pop-culture occultism in the creation of his own national literary aesthetic. This project not only examines the influence theosophy has on the literary work Yeats produced in the late 1880s and 1890s, but also Yeatss work as literary critic and anthology editor during that time. While Yeats uses theosophys metaphysical world view to provide an underlying structure for some of his earliest poetry and drama, he uses theosophys methods of investigation and argument to discover a metaphysical literary tradition which incorporates all of his own literary heroes into an Irish cultural tradition. Theosophy provides a methodology for Yeats to argue that both Shelley and Blake (for example) are part of a tradition that includes himself. Basing his argument in theosophy, Yeats can argue that the Irish people are a distinct race with a culture more sincere and natural than that of England.
