A luminous rediscovery of William Blake’s fiercely original imagination. Visionary poetry demands close attention.Volume III of The Works of William Blake: Poetic, Symbolic, and Critical, edited by Edwin John Ellis, assembles lyric and prophetic material into a concentrated romantic poetry collection and a deliberate poetic imagination study. Framed for symbolic literature analysis and sustained william blake analysis, the edition sets Blake’s visionary poetry themes in relief, tracing romantic era symbolism across brief lyrics, extended prophetic passages and fragmentary aphorisms.
