Those mingled seas

the long version

"Those Mingled Seas: The Poetry of W.B. Yeats, the Beautiful and the Sublime is a study of Yeats's ideas of art, history and culture. Through a combination of philosophy, literary theory, and close attention to poetic forms, Jefferson Holdridge links the most vital, daring aspects of Yeats's poetry and thought to contemporary issues of morality, politics and sexuality. This book, as elegant as it is audacious, will be central to the future of Yeats criticism."--Jacket.
