- Summary:
- This book argues that William Blake's last major poem, Jerusalem, possesses a narrative structure. This argument runs contrary to the critical consensus that sees the poem as possessing a "synchronic" structure in which the events of the poem all occur simultaneously rather than sequentially. This book contains three color photographs.
