Literature and Occult Tradition is a book authored by Denis Saurat that explores the connection between literature and the occult tradition. The book delves into the history of occultism and its influence on literature, from the medieval era to the modern age. It discusses the works of famous writers such as William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Charles Baudelaire, who were known for their fascination with the occult. The book also examines the role of symbolism, mysticism, and esotericism in literature, and how these elements have been used to convey hidden meanings and messages in literary works. Additionally, the book provides insights into the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the occult tradition and how they have influenced literary movements such as Romanticism and Symbolism. Overall, Literature and Occult Tradition is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds light on the fascinating relationship between literature and the occult.1930. Studies in philosophical poetry. Philosophical poetry is as ancient and as legitimate as philosophy itself. In this work, Professor Saurat proposes to study modern philosophical poetry. Modern philosophical poetry is the expression, varying according to the character, intelligence and surroundings of each poet, of a body of common ideas, related to neo-platonism and various occult doctrines, but original in its essence which represents the mind of modern man: the assertion of the liberty of man and of the sanctity of material nature of which he is a part. Professor Saurat presents this original and searching work, which is a distinct contribution to criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
