`Short copy entry, for Eng Lit 91' This book focuses on the tension
in Blake's poetry between a hermeneutics of suspicion and a
hermeneutics of belief: it offers a new account of the way in which
Blake's major prophecies work and of the stratagems they employ to
consolidate error and so open their readers' eyes to `otherness'.
Central to Peter Otto's reading is a re-definition of the role of
Los and Jesus in Blake's work, emphasising Blake's prophetic
intent. In the course of a radically new reading of Milton and
Jerusalem, it is argued that in these poems the autonomous,
world-forming imagination (that is staple to many accounts of
Romanticism) is subject to visionary deconstruction. Rather than
subordinating existence to perception, Blake's poems attempt to
induce their readers to act. Constructive Vision is the first
systematic and comprehensive analysis of Blake's work to draw on a
radically new understanding of Blake's view of humanity.
