| Summary: | William blake is not the only poet who has cast Jerusalem as a locus of prophetic vision; but where Amy Carmichael saw servants with faces set ‘toward Jerusalem/Let us not hinder them’, Blake relocated the city itself. His poem ‘Jerusalem’ (or ‘And did those feet,’ from the preface to Milton) combines ancient mythic time with a projected utopian future, built of biblical components. This sense of juxtaposition propels the Introduction and many of the chapters of Worrall and Clark's new volume, their third cooperative venture on Blake. |
