TimeQuest
Seer, mystic, prophet, artist, genius—he was visionary poet William Blake. And Kate, a grocer's illiterate daughter, adored him. She loved Blake enough to become his wife. She loved Blake enough to follow him into poverty, into madness, into hell...
And then into Time.
Because all of William Blake's angels and monsters—from dread Urizen to the immortal Zoas—were real. Beings of unimaginable power, power that they offered to Britain's finest minds... and, as a joke, to poor dowdy Kate.
But when the power grows evil, the vision turns foul, when horror engulfs the world and deadly terrors clasp the man she loves, then "poor, dowdy" Mrs. Blake challenges the gods to rage through Time—a tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night...
Eternal night.

A rather dizzying ride.
William "Burnin' Brite Tiger" Blake, time traveller, enters into a time war with his nemesis, Urizen. As chronicled in his work, of course, as any fool can plainly see.
This novel was re-issed as Timequest, and given that the Laser editions were edited down to the size of a Harlequin Romance novel, it's likely that edition is more complete.

This book RULED from the opening paragraph
And surprisingly less sexist than you would think for the era it was published

It’s William Blake meets time traveling and alternate universe science fiction. The positive note to take away from this book is that Kate Blake is given agency.
