| Summary: | This edition presents Blake's poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong, his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles and, finally, his remarkable 'prophetic' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake's poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions. |
