Jerusalem by William Blake
The Emanation of the Giant Albion
This prophetic, illuminated epic dramatizes the spiritual history of a mythic England, portraying the fragmentation and fall of humanity into oppression and alienation through the loss of imaginative vision, and following prophetic figures who struggle to restore creative unity and redemption. It condemns industrialism, rigid religion, and reductive reason while celebrating imagination, rebellion, and the recovery of a divine feminine principle as essential to personal and national regeneration. Dense with mythic symbolism and visionary lyricism, the work fuses political critique, spiritual allegory, and mystical exhortation to urge liberation through imaginative resurrection.
