This book presents a comprehensive analysis of William Blake's poetry and visual art, interpreting his complex mythology as a systematic and coherent whole. Frye argues against the view of Blake as a mystic or eccentric, instead positioning him as a visionary poet whose work engages with the Western literary and philosophical tradition. The study explores Blake's use of symbols, his critique of conventional religion and politics, and his development of a personal cosmology centered on the imagination. Frye's work is considered a foundational text in Blake scholarship and a key contribution to literary theory.
