William Blake's Epic: Imagination Unbound

By Joanne Witke

Book Overview

First published in 1986, this book starts from the premise that Blake's poem Jerusalem is in effect his defence of human imagination. The author demonstrates how Blake interprets, modifies, and incorporates certain principles and their consequences to fashion an epic in which he opposes the prevailing aesthetic system and constructs his own.
