On the Minor Prophecies of William Blake (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162564180)

On the Minor Prophecies of William Blake by Emily S. Hamblen is a scholarly work that delves into the lesser-known prophecies of the famous English poet and artist William Blake. The book explores Blake's prophetic works, including his illuminated books, and examines their themes, symbolism, and significance. Hamblen provides a detailed analysis of Blake's prophetic vision, drawing on his religious and philosophical beliefs, as well as his artistic style and literary techniques. The book also includes a discussion of the historical and cultural context in which Blake lived and worked, and how this influenced his prophetic writings. Overall, On the Minor Prophecies of William Blake offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Blake's lesser-known works, shedding light on his unique vision and artistic legacy.Those students who have found only frustration in this giant mystic, will here find set forth the structural plan conceived to underlie the poet's cosmic conceptions, and to tie them into an organic whole. For this psychological key, the author has gone back for her sources to the ancient Scriptures, including the Kabbala, to the occult writings of Nietzsche, Thoreau, Boehme and Whitman and early Oriental philosophers. The key to the mystery of Blake is this: that he was a true seer and spokesman because he had come to an understanding of the processes of his own soul.
