William Blake and Religion : A New Critical View, Paperback / softback Book

William Blake and Religion : A New Critical View Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Over the last ten years the field of Blake studies has profited from new discoveries about the life of Blake and his writings.

This book examines the effect that Blake's mother's recently discovered Moravianism has had on our understanding of his poetry, and gives special attention to Moravianism and Swedenborgianism and their relation to his sexual politics.

This is accomplished by a close reading of Blake's poetry, which examines in detail the subjects of religion, sex, and the attempted colonization of Africa by a Swedenborgian utopian group.
