William Blake's minor prophecies

摘要

On Blake's Minor Prophecies, and other essays, focuses on and points towards the development of the central myth worked out more extensively in The Four ZOAS, Milton and Jerusalem. Here, too, as in the later three longer poems, Blake is deeply engaged with the problem of the origins: attention in riveted on polarities like Descent / Re-ascent, Innocence/ Experience. A modest attempt has been made in this book to help the reader probe into the depths and intricacies as no less the self-evolving logic of these poems.
