Constructive Vision and Visionary Deconstruction Los, Eternity, and the Productions of Time in the Later Poetry of William Blake

Focusing on the tension in Blake's poetry between doubt and belief, this book offers a new account of the way Blake's major prophecies work and of the strategies they employ. Offering a radically new reading of Milton and Jerusalem, Otto argues that the autonomous, world-forming imagination is subject to visionary deconstruction. He demonstrates that rather than subordinating existence to perception, the poems attempt to induce their readers to action.Otto, Peter is the author of 'Constructive Vision and Visionary Deconstruction Los, Eternity, and the Productions of Time in the Later Poetry of William Blake' with ISBN 9780198117513 and ISBN 0198117515.
