Prophet, poet, painter, and engraver, Blake captured the spiritual drama of English nationalism, integrating poetry and visual art to create a truly unique body of work.

Detailing the enriching effect of mystical, alchemical, and gnostic philosophy—as well as Dante, Milton, and the Bible—on Blake’s art, she examines famous works such as \u003ci\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSongs of Innocence and Experience\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Job\u003c\/i\u003e, relating them to Blake’s world view and analyzing their fierce energy and prophet qualities.
