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.

This book offers an explanation of Blake's thought and a commentary on his poetry. No effort has been made to deal at all adequately with Blake's biography or with his work as painter and engraver: a study of his relation to English literature is primarily what has been attempted.

Here is a dear & complete solution to the riddles of the longer poems, the so-called "Prophecies," & 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 & of art, & how this rigorously defined system of ideas found expression in the complicated but consistent symbolism of his poetry. The 2nd & 3rd parts, after indicating the relation of Blake to English literature & the intellectual atmosphere of his own time, explain the meaning of Blake's poems & the significance of their characters. * HIGHEST PRAISE "According as we agree or disagree w/ Mr. Frye's contention we shall decide finally on the supremacy of his book: In following the structure of Blake's total vision & relating it to the thought of his age he has triumphantly carried out a task which, given the giant shape of the material, cannot help being immense. His cadences, by sheer explanatory devotion, approach the sonorities of Blake's own." -TLS. "An intelligent & beautifully written critical interpretation of the poetry & symbolic thought of William Blake." -New Yorker * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: NORTHRUP FRYE was University Professor in the University of Toronto & was also Professor of English in Victoria College, University of Toronto.
