William Blake's literary works are characterized by a ceaseless
dynamics constituted in the fierce interactions of the language,
thought, and narrative of his myth. Highlighting the critical
problems facing the linear approach that the study of Blake has
adopted from the traditional methodology of Newtonian science,
Jules van Lieshout argues that nonlinearity is the key to
understanding Blake's prophecies. Throughout his discussions, Van
Lieshout focuses on the relation of Blake's Generation and
Eternity, which he identifies as Bakhtinian 'world views'. In
Generation, existence is finalized as a hierarchy of geometric
'dark globes', each assuming the character of universal whole to
the exclusion of all others. Eternity, on the other hand, is
Blake's fractal 'human form' of existence that is continuously
organized and reorganized in the dynamic interaction of whole and
parts. Blake represents these world views as interinvolved. Their
dynamic interaction reflects and refracts his conceptual thought,
mythological narrative, and poetic language. Hence, his visionary
epic self-organizes into a self-similar complex system whose
patterns of behaviour are not merely remarkably like those that
modern applications of nonlinear dynamics are revealing in the
physical world, but are indeed inherent in the processes of writing
and reading his individual works.
