William Blake and the cultures of radical Christianity

This study traces the links between William Blake's ideas and radical Christian cultures in late eighteenth-century England.

Drawing on a significant number of historical sources, Robert W.

Rix examines how Blake and his contemporaries re-appropriated the sources they read within new cultural and political frameworks.

By unravelling their strategies, the book opens up a new perspective on what has often been seen as Blake's individual and idiosyncratic ideas.
