American University Studies, Series IV, English Language and Literture, Vol. 142. The "first full length study of Blake's most famous and arguably his most central literary device--the proverb . . . the book first sets Blake's radically new visionary proverbs into a brief literary history (examining proverbs in the Bible, Bunyon, Swedenborg, and Milton). It concludes with a detailed study of the function of the proverbs in Blake's prophetic works. A central aspect of this function is ultimately shown to be the Godlike creation of Blake's Bible of Hell, a Bible which turns out to be chiefly comprised of his systematically rewritten versions of the biblical Wisdom books." 198 pages. Notes, bibliography, index.
