The core of William Blake's vision, his greatness as one of the British Romantics, is most fully expressed in his Illuminated Books, masterworks of art and text entertwined and mutually enriching. This volume in the series reveals the writer and artist as a prophet driven by a sense of apocalyptic urgency. The Urizen Books, made up of Urizen, The Book of Los, and Ahania, describes the dissemination of the autocratic mythology of Urizen, Blake's inflexibly rationalist and myopic lawgiver. 231 pages, softcover from Princeton Paperbacks.
