William Blake as Natural Philosopher, 1788-1795
William Blake as Natural Philosopher, 1788-1795 takes seriously William Blake’s wish to be read as a natural philosopher, particularly in his early illuminated works, and reveals the way that poetry and visual art were for Blake an imaginative way of philosophizing. Blake’s poetry and designs reveal a consistent preoccupation with eighteenth-century natural philosophical debates concerning the properties of the physical world, the nature of the soul, and God’s relationship to the material universe. This book traces the history of these debates and examines images and ideas in Blake’s illuminated books that mark the development of the monist pantheism, which contends that every material thing is in its essence God, to the idealism of his later period, which casts the natural world as degenerate and illusory. The book argues that Blake’s philosophical thought was not as monolithic as has been previously characterized, and that pantheism is important to understanding his early works because it entails an ethics that respects the interconnected divinity of all material objects – not just humans – which in turn spurns hierarchical power structures.

This book examines the difficult relationship between individual intellectual freedom and the legal structures which govern human societies in William Blake’s works, showing that this tension carries a political urgency that has not yet been recognised by scholars in the field.

Worrall draws on an understanding of neuroscience to examine both Blake’s visual art and writings, and discusses the lack of evidence pointing towards psychosis or pathological ill-health, thus questioning the rumours pertaining to Blake’s insanity.

William Blake’s Mysticism

This book examines William Blake as a 'mystic' and the movements and authors that contributed to this definition during and after his lifetime, with a particular focus on his influence on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Celtic Modernist writers. The author W. B. Yeats was one of the first to present this view of Blake in depth, although his concept of the mystic prioritised the lone male practitioner and the occult. This study argues that the mystic and the esoteric in a community context impacted both Blake's, and Yeats', critical and cultural reception. It also offers the first extended literary examination of the Romantic prophet Dorothy Gott's work alongside Blake's, and the first analysis of Blake's influence on Celtic Modernist writers George Russell and Fiona Macleod. This book will be of interest to scholars interested in representations of gender and spirituality in Romantic and Modernist literature and art, and in authors so far neglected in Blake studies.
Nic Blake ja ihmeelliset - Anansin kirja
Loisteliaan nokkelan fantasiatrilogian toinen osa. Kaikki Nicin unelmat ovat toteutuneet. Hän on juhlittu sankari, löytänyt perheensä ja vihdoin päässyt ilmentäjien kouluun. Elämä on täydellistä! Paitsi pari pikku juttua: Hänen entinen lempikirjailijansa onkin hänen pahin vihollisensa. Lisäksi kamalan ennustuksen mukaan Nicin voimat ovat tuhoisat. Nic kohtaa kummallisen ilmentäjien kultin, joka uhkaa paljastaa ennustuksen kaikille, ellei hän toimita heille myyttistä Anansin kirjaa. Onko sitä edes olemassa? Nic voi luottaa mahdottomassa tehtävässä vain veljensä Alexin ja ystävänsä JP:n apuun. "Tämä kirja on paras ystäväsi, jota et tiennyt tarvitsevasi." Rick Riordan
