| In this short but illuminating study Matt Simpson has tried
to
demonstrate what Blake is saying in these wonderful poems and
how
they intimately converse with one another and with the illustrations
of which they are inseparably a part. Each poem is given individual
consideration while at the same time ‘placed’ in
the dynamic context
of the illustrated sequence as Blake arranged it. The main aim
is not
so much to ‘explain’ the poems as to help the reader
to experience
them as essential poetry of the highest order. |
Matt Simpson is a poet and critic and formerly
a university lecturer
in English. |
