Synopsis

This thought-provoking literary work is a collection of the author's symbolic poems, which offer a unique perspective on essential human experiences. Rooted in the complex ideas of the Romantic movement and drawing inspiration from the mystical writings of Swedenborg and Jacob Boehme, these selections explore the relationship between intellect, emotion, and imagination. The poems grapple with abstract themes of good and evil, the nature of human desire, and the role of the imagination in shaping our understanding of the world. The author delves into the tension between the individual and society, the interconnectedness of all living things, and the transformative power of love. Through a rich tapestry of imagery and symbolism, this collection invites readers to contemplate the profound questions of existence, the nature of reality, and the potential for human growth and transformation. It serves as a testament to the enduring significance of the Romantic era's exploration of the human psyche and imagination, providing valuable insights into the complexities of the human experience.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Those who believe that Blake s Prophetic Books, as wholes, are great poems may consider the present volume as a simplified reader for beginners in Blake ssymbolism, leading by graduated steps from the more obvious to the more complex aspects of these writings. Those who find the poetry of the Prophetic Books confined to isolated passages may regard this edition as an attempt to cull out such passages and arrange them in something roughly approximating an organic whole, as far as the refractory material renders this last step possible. The text is based mainly on Mr. Ellis s1906 edition, the only complete one now in print; but where the same passages occur in the selections of Mr. Sampson sexcellent edition his readings have been adopted, although he has not always been followed in typographical details. Mr. Ellis snumerous editorial emendations in Vala have been discarded; and Blake sown words, as given in Ellis sappendix of the Quaritch edition, have been substituted. We believe with Mr. Ellis that some of his emendations are improvements; but we felt reluctant to place a version so full of editorial alterations before a public that had no chance of comparing these with the original wording. Our text is not offered as a definitive one, but simply as adequate for an introductory work. Mr. Sampson stext, where followed, has been used by the kind permission of Mr. Sampson himself, and of his publishers, the Oxford University Press.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
