Dr. Douglas Bush, distinguished professor emeritus of English in Harvard University, devoted his Jayne Lectures in 1967 to the varied use of pagan myth by English poets, Christian and non-Christian, from the Renaissance (Spencer, Shakespeare, Milton) and the Romantic Age (Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, and Arnold) to modern times (Yeats, Eliot, Pound, and Muir). He discusses both long and short poems based on classical myth and also images and symbols used by these poets. The lectures, intended for general readers, are supplemented with very full notes and bibliography, which will be useful to advanced scholars.
