E.P. Thompson's book on William Blake explores the religious and
political traditions which helped form this most original of poets
and artists. The book begins by liberating Blake from the academic
straitjacket in which recent criticism has placed him, emphasizing
his rootedness in a culture that did not share our values or
perceptions. Thompson then offers a historical account of radical
thought from the 1640s to the late 18th-century, identifying Blake
in this context and probing his unique distillation of heretical
religion and radical politics. Thompson offers an close reading of
the poetry, detecting in its rhythms, symbolism and vocabulary a
repeated call to resist compromises with the materialism of the
Antichrist embodied by the contemporary church and state.
