Blake: A Collection of Critical Essays (Spectrum Books)
by William J. Blake
Category: Art and literature

William Blake -- some have called him a genius, some have called him a madman... and many have called him both. As the essays in this book show, Blake offers his readers a vision of the world so coherent that even his simplest songs convey rich and exciting meaning, so unified that even his most obscure prophecies present an unexpectedly luminous conception of reality. One of the leaders of the resurgence of interest in Blake, Northrop Frye, has selected essays by distinguished critics which bring the reader into a direct confrontation with the genius of William Blake. -- From publisher's description.
