Written in 1794, this work reflects Blakes characteristic visionary style, where he intertwines imaginative narrative with philosophical inquiry. Delving into the figure of Urizen, a representation of rationalism and patriarchal authority, the text critiques Enlightenment thought while simultaneously embracing the chaos and creativity inspired by the Romantic spirit. The fantastical illustrations accompanying the text enhance the themes of duality and conflict, establishing a rich interplay between word and image that is central to Blakes oeuvre. William Blake, an English poet, painter, and printmaker, was greatly influenced by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of 18th-century England. His deep-seated spirituality and opposition to institutionalized religion fueled his desire to explore the human condition through myth and symbolism. "The Book of Urizen" serves as a testament to Blakes inventive genius, mirroring his own spiritual struggles and philosophical contemplations, as he sought to transcend the confines of rationalism. This book is highly recommended for readers who are eager to engage with the symbolic complexities of literature and art. Blakes work invites a reflective consideration of creativity versus constraint, making it an essential read for students of Romanticism, literary philosophy, and those interested in the intersections of art and literature.</p>...1908776The Book of Urizen4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-book-of-urizen/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/975300/a5d0371a-e969-486c-bca8-ef868c94ae84.jpg?v=638444226093870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547001362_W3siaWQiOiJhMjgxODRjYi1jNzgwLTQxZWMtYjg3OS05NGIxZTcxNWVhOTEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjhUMTI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547001362_<p>The Book of Urizen is one of the major prophetic books of the English poet William Blake, illustrated by Blakes own plates. It was originally published as The First Book of Urizen in 1794. Later editions dropped the word first. The book takes its name from the character Urizen in Blakes mythology, who represents alienated reason as the source of oppression. The book describes Urizen as the primeaval priest, and describes how he became separated from the other Eternals to create his own alienated and enslaving realm of religious dogma. Los and Enitharmon create a space within Urizens fallen universe to give birth to their son Orc, the spirit of revolution and freedom. In form, the book is a parody of the Book of Genesis, with Blakes Urizen being more similar to the demiurge of the Gnostics than a benevolent creator. The poems of William Blake reinterpret the spiritual history of the human race from the fall from Eden to the beginning of the French Revolution. Blake believed in the correspondence between the physical world and the spiritual world and used poetic metaphor to express these beliefs. In his poetry, we hear a man who looks for mankind to salvage his redemption from oppression through resurgence of imaginative life. The power of repression is a constant theme in Blakes poems and he articulates his belief in the titanic forces of revolt and the struggle for freedom against the guardians of tradition. William Blake (1757 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.</p>...(*_*)8596547001362_<p>William Blakes "The Book of Urizen" presents a profound exploration of cosmology and creation, captivating readers with its intricate blend of poetic language and visual artistry.
