Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the mystical side of William Blake, a celebrated poet and artist who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It delves into the nature of mysticism itself, examining what it means to be a mystic and how Blake's experiences and teachings fit within that broader context. The author meticulously traces the evolution of critical opinion on Blake, from the near-total neglect he suffered in his lifetime to the burgeoning interest in his work that began in the mid-19th century. The book delves into Blakeââ â¢s enigmatic "Prophetic Books," which were often dismissed as nonsensical by his contemporaries, and reveals the underlying system of symbols and meanings that illuminate these complex works. The authorââ â¢s insights reveal how Blakeââ â¢s mystical vision, though rooted in a pre-Romantic worldview, resonates deeply with contemporary anxieties and concerns. This insightful analysis illuminates the enduring power of Blakeââ â¢s unique perspective on life, death, and the divine.
