Frye, Northrop:
Fearful Symmetry: A Study of William Blake - used book

ISBN: 0691012911

ID: 2286209

This brilliant outline of Blake's thought and commentary on his poetry comes on the crest of the current interest in Blake, and carries us further towards an understanding of his work than any previous study. Here is a dear and complete solution to the riddles of the longer poems, the so-called "Prophecies," and a demonstration of Blake's insight that will amaze the modern reader. The first section of the book shows how Blake arrived at a theory of knowledge that was also, for him, a theory of religion, of human life and of art, and how this rigorously defined system of ideas found expression in the complicated but consistent symbolism of his poetry. The second and third parts, after indicating the relation of Blake to English literature and the intellectual atmosphere of his own time, explain the meaning of Blake's poems and the significance of their characters. criticism and theory,education and reference,english literature,history and criticism,humanities,literary criticism,literary criticism and collections,literature,literature and fiction,philosophy Philosophy, Princeton University Press
