The Bible was crucial for William Blake and for his poetic
genius, whether as an object of criticism or as an inspiration.
This book--the first substantial study of the topic in sixty
years--locates Blake within the broad spectrum of Christian
biblical interpretation and explores the ways in which Blake
engaged with the Bible. Christopher Rowland argues that Blake's
approach to the Bible was broadly consistent, even though he
underwent something of a religious change in his later years. The
author also shows how Blake saw himself as being in the prophetic
tradition and also as somehow continuing the work of John of
Patmos, author of the Book of Revelation.
