This study examines the phenomenon of altered consciousness as it was understood by modernist intellectuals and poets as a source of epistemological rupture that could catalyze innovations in theory and art. These innovations arose through creative responses to revelations of the unknown that the altered state can instigate. Such innovations in thought are exemplified by Charles Baudelaire, William James, Sigmund Freud, Bertolt Brecht, and Walter Benjamin (Chapter 1), and innovations in art are performed in the long poems of William Carlos Williams, Mina Loy, and T.S. Eliot (Chapters 2-4). These figures show that exceptional mental states, religious experiences, intoxication, mystical visions, love, epiphanies, and other such extraordinary experiences interrupt a 'base-line' condition of 'ordinary' consciousness by subverting the Freudian ego's automatic censorship of destabilizing content. With the ego's controls subverted, the subject may grow conscious of James' "regions" of exceptional experiences whose causes and significance were unfamiliar to modern rational secular discourses, and which were experienced as aesthetic, in the Greek sense of the term. Modernists explored these internal territories, examined the philosophical, religious, and socio-political spheres through perspectives of altered consciousness, and creatively assimilated the content of these insights into communicable frames of reference.

This study examines the phenomenon of altered consciousness as it was understood by modernist intellectuals and poets as a source of epistemological rupture that could catalyze innovations in theory and art. These innovations arose through creative responses to revelations of the unknown that the altered state can instigate. Such innovations in thought are exemplified by Charles Baudelaire, William James, Sigmund Freud, Bertolt Brecht, and Walter Benjamin (Chapter 1), and innovations in art are performed in the long poems of William Carlos Williams, Mina Loy, and T.S. Eliot (Chapters 2-4). These figures show that exceptional mental states, religious experiences, intoxication, mystical visions, love, epiphanies, and other such extraordinary experiences interrupt a 'base-line' condition of 'ordinary' consciousness by subverting the Freudian ego's automatic censorship of destabilizing content. With the ego's controls subverted, the subject may grow conscious of James' "regions" of exceptional experiences whose causes and significance were unfamiliar to modern rational secular discourses, and which were experienced as aesthetic, in the Greek sense of the term. Modernists explored these internal territories, examined the philosophical, religious, and socio-political spheres through perspectives of altered consciousness, and creatively assimilated the content of these insights into communicable frames of reference.

Three markedly different poems that perform the attainment and assimilation of insights instigated by altered states of consciousness include Williams' Kora in Hell: Improvisations (1923), Loy's "Songs to Joannes" (1917) and Eliot's Four Quartets (1943). Williams' ecstatic improvisations bypass the conventions of self-censorship and propriety to reveal an otherwise imperceptible Dionysian frenzy and libidinal energy pulsating through the unremarkable veneer of Paterson, New Jersey---and indeed, through the poet himself. Mina Loy's speaker reclaims stereotypes of feminine passivity and vacuity by recognizing herself, through the power of dissociation, as subject to an erotic force that neither Victorian manners nor emerging discussions of feminine political equality could contain. Eliot in Four Quartets treats glimpses of timelessness as gateways to visions of ascent and descent. By recalling the perennial appearance of such visions in diverse world literatures and religions, Eliot reincorporates the fragmented modern subject into a collective spiritual multitude that transcends historical and cultural boundaries.
