The impact of Indian myth on occidental selected poems

Abstract EN

The current study deals with the impact and influence of the Indian myth on western literature in general and on the British and American poetry in particular.

The concept of myth and its origin is somehow shadowy and ambiguous.

At the same time, it penetrates all the various aspects of human life.

Myth overtakes all the borders to become an international heritage for human civilization.

Four poems have been chosen: T S Eliot’s The Waste Land, William Butler Yeats’s Supernatural Songs, Anashuya and Vijaya and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Brahma.
