Description
William Blake's America a Prophecy is a unique and esoteric work of poetry that explores the metaphysical dimensions of the American Revolution. This high-quality facsimile edition features Blake's original handwritten masterpiece, accompanied by an introduction and a plain-text companion of the poems. The book delves into the symbolic language of Blake's cosmology, where the Christ-figure Ore champions love and passion over the primordial forces of darkness. A diagrammatic interpretation of Blake's pantheon of gods adds depth to this complex and thought-provoking work. As one of 12 Illuminated Prophecies, America a Prophecy represents a significant milestone in the development of modern mythology, influencing notable authors such as Lord Dunsany, JRR Tolkien, and HP Lovecraft.
