商品簡介
Following in the steps of Morton D. Paley's Energy and the Imagination: A Study of the Development of Blake's Thought (1970) and following works, these 14 essays, presented by Fulford (English, Nottingham Trent U., UK), study the overlapping cultures of literature, art, and religion as they manifested in the works of such writers as William Cowper, Samuel Coleridge, Robert Southey, Robert Hawes, Lord Byron, and of course William Blake. Specific discussions include the effect of the French Revolution on the Miltonic verse with which Coleridge and Blake prophesied forthcoming apocalypse, the rejection of millenarianism by women Romantic writers, and late development of Blake's work as a culmination of his visionary re-orientation of existing religious art.
