William Blake: a literary life

Rescuing the human spirit

Traces of tradition?

Through satire to innocence

Love, marriage and sexual lore

Finding a voice for experience

The challenge of energy

Thinking allegorically, imaging symbolically

'Vala' and the fate of narrative epic

'A slumber on the banks of the ocean'

Fragmentary modes of epic

Years of resentment, hints of paradox

A persisting visionary

Prophetic afterlife.
