War of Titans: Blake’s Critique of Milton and the Politics of Religion

Front Cover
University of Pittsburgh Press, 1983 - Literary Criticism - 391 pages

In a dramatically original analysis, Jackie DiSalvo explores Blake’s reworking of Genesis and Paradise Lost in his prophetic poem The Four Zoas, creating a compelling new reading of both Milton and Blake. With informed argument and provocative insights, DiSalvo shows how Blake’s view of history prefigures the revaluation of our own myths of origin prompted by new political, psychological, and feminist perspectives.
