Frye gives a complete solution to the riddles of Blake's longer poems  the so-called 'Prophecies'  and demonstrates how Blake's works form a coherent mythical pattern that broadens our conception of literature. He explains how Blake arrived at a theory of knowledge that was also, for him, a theory of religion, life, and art, and how this rigorously defined system of ideas found expression in the complicated but consistent symbolism of his poetry. With an incisive foreword by scholar and literary critic Nicholas Halmi, this \u003ci\u003ePrinceton Classics \u003c\/i\u003eedition shows how Blake reflects the literary and the intellectual atmosphere of his time while holding renewed meaning for us today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803907805342,"sku":"ADS-9780691278100","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691278100.jpg?v=1778207064","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780691278100","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
