Literary mysticism and occultism: critical introduction -- William Wordsworth's "spots of time" and the Enlightenment -- Walt Whitman's "democratic self" and the "mystic Orient" -- Gerard Manley Hopkins's "inscape" as natural sacramentalism -- W.B. Yeats's occult poetics: the "wisdom of the daemonic image" -- Ezra Pound's "modern Eleusis" and Friedrich Nietzsche's Dionysianism -- T.S. Eliot's "still point" and New England puritanism -- Sylvia Plath's vitalist occultism: "a piranha religion" -- The mystic, the occult, and the self
This study argues that esoteric ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and James Frazer provide answers to ontological questions about the origin and substance of poets looking beyond the established rationalist codes of the industrial society. The ideas also give comprehensive critical insight into creative bases on which the poets' various mystical or occult ideas work to produce their distinct creative characters
