“An intelligent and beautifully written critical interpretation of the poetry and symbolic thought of William Blake.”—The New Yorker

“To say it is a magnificent, extraordinary book is to praise it as it should be praised, but in doing so one gives little idea of the huge scope of the book and of its fiery understanding. Several great poets have written of Blake, but this book, I believe, is the first to show the full magnitude of Blake’s mind, its vast creative thought.”—Edith Sitwell, The Spectator

His cadences, by sheer explanatory devotion, approach the sonorities of Blake’s own.”—Times Literary Supplement

“Frye conducts his ambitious study with unflagging energy, great enthusiasm, and immense erudition.”—Poetry
