Description

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This ebook is a series of texts; which were written in imitation of biblical books of prophecy; but expressing the poets own personal romantic and revolutionary beliefs. It is not exactly known when the work was written. One assumes it was composed in London between 1790 and 1793 ; a period of political conflict arising immediately after the French Revolution. The book is about the first person narrators visit to Hell; a concept taken by Blake from Dantes Inferno and Miltons Paradise Lost. Apart from the opening Argument and the Song of Liberty; the entire book is written in prose. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell was influenced by the mysticism of Swedish theosophist Emanuel Swedenborg and is also in part a satire on Emanuel Swedenborgs writings; especially on Heaven and Hell from which Blake adapted the title. William Blake (1757 ndash; 1827) was a British poet; painter; visionary mystic; and engraver; who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime; Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. and a beautiful one--very high quality collectionBy John MoranThis book is a trip; and a beautiful one--very high quality collection. I was moved by each contribution. For those (like me) not familiar with bio-art; eco-art; and what have you; youll be stimulated by having to consider human cheese; or goat-milk soap containing traces of a goats thousand mile journey. Also a strong implicit argument for anthropologists for "making culture" to come after "writing culture."
