- Title
WILLIAM BLAKE'S LAOCOÖN (1826) 'YOU MUST LEAVE FATHERS & MOTHERS & HOUSES & LANDS IF THEY STAND IN THE WAY OF ART': AN ALTERNATIVE BIBLICAL SOURCE.
- Authors
Whitehead, Angus
- Abstract
A literary criticism of an inscription on William Blake's engraved grafitto plate "Laocoön" is presented. It discusses previous critiques on the biblical source material for the inscription, and argues for an alternative source from the biblical book of "Mark." The themes of the unity of Christ, imagination, and Blake's concern with common humanity is also discussed.
