W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, H.D. and David Jones, major poets of the 20th century, were fully involved in the historic conflict between religion and science. This study illuminates the manner in which they attempted to overcome the division between the two cultures - by incorporating elements of religious ritual as well as scientific experiment in their poems.
