William Blake and the Myth of America: From the Abolitionists to the Counterculture
Freedman, Linda (Lecturer in English and American Literature, University College London)
Tells the story of William Blake's literary reception in America from the Abolitionists to the counterculture and argues that Blake's poetry has been crucial to America's sense of itself as a mythic and prophetic nation and its struggle with the ironies of new world symbolism as a land of the free and a site of possibility and redemption.
