Focusing on William Blake's imaginative world, this influential work by Northrop Frye, published in 1947, demystifies Blake's voice and vision for a broader audience. Celebrated for its elegance, comprehensive coverage, and coherent argument, it played a pivotal role in establishing Blake as a canonical poet, countering the perception of his work as unintelligible. The new edition features revised text, updated annotations, and additional notes on cultural references. An introduction by Ian Singer offers critical context and insights into the book's impact.
