Like all of the Romantic poets, William Blake’s work was rooted in a recognition of the importance of the individual and a reaction against the dehumanising effects of rationalism in all its forms. Students at AS and A Level and undergraduates will find these notes an invaluable introduction to Blake and a good source of ideas for essays, coursework and further study.
A brief but effective evaluation of Blake's poetic and philosophical Romanticism, and his standing among the Romantics. Does not go into Blake's mythos to any significant extent.
