Exploring the profound impact of William Blake on Romantic poetry and visual arts, this collection of essays by Hazard Adams delves into various aspects of Blake's work and philosophy. Topics include the symbolic elements in "Jerusalem," Blake's worldview, and the interplay between Eastern and Western literary thoughts.
