This paper analyzes the mystical dimension of William Blake’s work in relation to other authors of the Western tradition . Here, I understood mysticism in the sense used by poets and Gnostics, from an interpretive vision upon on Blake’s illuminated books. From authors such as Frye and Scholem, I use the terms of Norman Cohn “revolutionary mysticism” and “mystical anarchism” in order to designate certain religious rebellions present in Western art , rebellions that find in the English poet and painter an unmistakable characterization and aesthetic depthDownloads
