Description
This book offers an identification of the studies which have most contributed to our understanding of Blake's "Songs", showing how the different meanings perceived by critics are not mutually exclusive but complementary. The author contends that Blake's vision is more comprehensive than those critics committed to narrowly Marxist or Christian interpretations of his work. "The Critics Debate" series aims to help delineate various critical approaches to specific literary texts, and to introduce the reader to further reading on the subject and to a fuller evaluation of a particular text by illustrating the way it has been approached in a number of contexts.
