Bog beskrivelse

The closing years of the eighteenth century were the particular domain of literary radicals whose work challenged ideas on gender and sexuality. During this transitional period, the poetry of William Blake reflected the changing mores of society as well as his own developing notions of gender. This work presents an in-depth exploration of gender issues in Blake''s three epic poems, The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem.

The opening chapter discusses basic concepts such as notions of apocalypse, utopia and gender, all essential to the author''s reading of Blake. Background regarding the literary atmosphere of the time, which included influence from the tradition of dissent, English Jacobinism and early feminism, is also included, effectively setting the context for Blake''s work. The book then examines the poems in chronological order. It concentrates particularly on male and female activity within each work (refuting the common assumption that Blake was anti-feminist) while exploring the symbolism of the poetry. Blake''s repeated theme of the struggle between the sexes receives special emphasis, as does the progress of his gender vision through the three poems.
