Yeats and Theosophy - Monteith, Ken (LaGuardia Community College, The City University of New York, USA)

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. This project examines the influence theosophy has on the literary work Yeats produced in the late 1880's and 1890's.
