Know about the book -

The Ecstatic Poetic Tradition(English, Paperback, Moores D.J.) is written by Moores D.J. and published by McFarland & Co Inc. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0786478160 (ISBN 10) and 9780786478163 (ISBN 13).

This work is not only a general inquiry into ecstatic states of consciousness and an historical outline of the ecstatic poetic tradition but also an intensive study of five representative poets--Rumi, Wordsworth, Whitman, Dickinson, and Tagore. In a refreshingly original, wide-ranging engagement with concepts in psychology, religion, philosophy, aesthetics, sociology and history, this book demonstrates that the poetics and aesthetics of ecstasy represent an ancient, ubiquitous theory of poetry that continues to influence writers in the current century.
