William Blake's Recreation of Gnostic Myth: Resolving the Apparent Incongruities (Salzburg Studies in English Literature. Romantic Reassessment, 118)

by Peter J. Sorensen

This volume reads Blake's writings as an initiation into a divine revelation (gnosis) given to the poet-prophet. The vision is dualistic and heterodox, and bears a striking and consistent resemblance to the visions and writings of many of the Christian gnostics of ancient times.
