Description

This scholarly study traces the evolution of the symbol concept from Holderlin to Yeats, exploring how metonymy functions as a literary device across romantic and modern poetry. Originally developed as a doctoral thesis at Columbia University, the work offers critical analysis of how these major poets employed symbolic language to express the soul and inner experience. The book provides readers with deep insights into the theoretical frameworks underpinning symbol use in 19th and 20th century verse, making it essential for literature students, poetry scholars, and anyone studying the development of modernist aesthetic theory.

Key Features

Originally presented as a Columbia University doctoral thesis, bringing rigorous academic research to the study of romantic and modern poetry.

Focuses on metonymy as a literary technique used by Holderlin and Yeats to create symbolic representations of the soul.

Examines the historical evolution of symbol theory from the romantic period through modernism in European and Irish verse.

Published by Palgrave Macmillan, a respected academic publisher specialising in humanities and literary criticism texts.
