Blake and the New Age (Routledge Revivals)

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on William Blake as a profound yet isolated genius, this study explores his connection to the spiritual tradition of Sophia Perennis, or 'the Everlasting Gospel.' It critiques the immediate past, termed by W.B. Yeats as 'the three provincial centuries,' as a tragic deviation with dire spiritual and material effects. The text emphasizes that contemporary understanding of Blake's work and philosophy validates his belief in the eternal truths he sought to convey, reflecting a growing interest in his insights.
