What is Yeats and the Heroic Ideal about?

vii, 196 pages ; 22 cm, \"The difficulties in a democracy have been a central theme in much of Western literature during the twentieth century--a theme that finds explicit presentation in the writings of W.B. Yeats. In [the author's view], Yeats's involvement in the Irish Independence movement, his interest in myth, religion, and the occult, his praise of aristocratic values, and his participation in Irish public life were all related expressions of the poet's desire to re-establish the vision of heroism as the central ideal of human conduct.\"--Dust jacket inside front cover flap, Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-190)
