- Title
BLAKE: FOUR UNRECOGNIZED ALLUSIONS.
- Authors
Miner, Paul
- Abstract
A literary criticism of unrecognized allusions in the works of writer William Blake is presented. It discusses four allusions to nature, the Bible, and philosopher John Locke's "Essay On Human Understanding" in the works "The Four Zoas," "The First Book of Urizen," and "The Everlasting Gospel." The influence of engraver James Basire on Blake's understanding of sea anemones is discussed, along with Blake's ironic play off of John Locke's understanding of the soul.
