A critical introduction to William Blake's poetry, which
concentrates on the most accessible of Blake's writings, but which
also gives careful consideration to the longer prophetic works.
Biographical material has been kept to a minimum, allowing a full
concentration on the poetry itself. Professor Gillham maintains
that The Songs should be viewed as a dramatic unity and that their
interpretation is not aided by a study of the later prophetic works
as has so often been maintained. He analyses Blake's lapse from the
deceptively simple clarity of The Songs into the strained, obscure
and abstract manner of the later poems in a way which, while
helping the reader to a full appreciation of the early work,
enables him at last to come to grips with the Prophecies.
