This brilliant outline of Blake's thought and commentary on his
poetry comes on the crest of the current interest in Blake, and
carries us further towards an understanding of his work than any
previous study. Here is a dear and complete solution to the riddles
of the longer poems, the so-called "Prophecies," and a
demonstration of Blake's insight that will amaze the modern reader.
The first section of the book shows how Blake arrived at a theory
of knowledge that was also, for him, a theory of religion, of human
life and of art, and how this rigorously defined system of ideas
found expression in the complicated but consistent symbolism of his
poetry. The second and third parts, after indicating the relation
of Blake to English literature and the intellectual atmosphere of
his own time, explain the meaning of Blake's poems and the
significance of their characters.
