On the Minor Prophecies of William Blake - Paperback

On the Minor Prophecies of William Blake is a book by Emily S. Hamblen that delves into the lesser-known works of the famous poet and artist, William Blake. The book explores Blake's lesser-known prophecies, which are often overshadowed by his more famous works, such as The Marriage of Heaven and Hell and Songs of Innocence and Experience. Hamblen's book provides a comprehensive analysis of these minor prophecies, examining their themes, imagery, and symbolism, and placing them within the context of Blake's larger body of work. Through her analysis, Hamblen sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of Blake's oeuvre and provides a deeper understanding of his artistic vision and spiritual beliefs. On the Minor Prophecies of William Blake is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Blake's work, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of literature, art, and spirituality.Those students who have found only frustration in this giant mystic, will here find set forth the structural plan conceived to underlie the poet's cosmic conceptions, and to tie them into an organic whole. For this psychological key, the author has gone back for her sources to the ancient Scriptures, including the Kabbala, to the occult writings of Nietzsche, Thoreau, Boehme and Whitman and early Oriental philosophers. The key to the mystery of Blake is this: that he was a true seer and spokesman because he had come to an understanding of the processes of his own soul.
