The Cosmic Smith. William Blake. Life-Writings-World View
Uthaug, Geir: Den kosmiske smie. William Blake. Liv-diktning-verdensbilde
William Blake (1757-1827) is one of history's true and exceptional greats. He created a personal mythology which illuminates the contradictions and interplay that are part of the human mind. With his intimate knowledge of 18th-century esoteric trends and religious subcultures, Geir Uthaug penetrates Blake's world and conducts the reader through his mythological writings from Songs of Innocence and of Experience to his outstanding visionary and apocalyptical epic poems Milton and Jerusalem.
The book is illustrated with many reproductions of Blake's own drawings, paintings and engravings.
