Praise for William Blake vs the World:
Praise from the UK for William Blake Vs. the World:
"For a thought-provoking and very accessible introduction to Blake,
his work, and the complex mytho-poetic cosmology that he created, I
can't recommend John Higgs' recent William Blake Vs the World
highly enough. One of the best Blake explainer books I've read."--
"BoingBoing"
"Higgs displays Blake's brilliance, noting the way his thought
dovetailed with psychology, neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and
chaos theory...This rewarding biography suggests that Blake would
have appreciated Walt Whitman's long, lapping lines of poetry,
agreed with Ralph Waldo Emerson's ideas concerning self-reliance
and individualism, and championed free verse." -- "Washington
Examiner"
"[Higgs] handles the complexities of Blake, particularly the later
Blake, with adroit confidence, and in doing so he offers a crisp,
ambitious and thoroughly contemporary introduction."
-- "Mental Health Today"
"John Higgs's work is always revelatory and William Blake vs the
World is no different. It is a dynamic book that makes Blake vivid
and relevant but which also tells us a great deal about all human
imagination. The subject is not only Blake, it is
ourselves."--Robin Ince, author of I'm a Joke and So Are You
