This study puts Blake squarely in the context of his times, and offers many insights into the roots of the often puzzling images that crop up in Blake's poems and illustrations. Bronowski's erudition is as formidable as his prose style is direct and accessible. I'm not sure a Blake novice would get much from this book, but someone already familiar with the man's eccentric and impressive body of work will find much to ponder.
