《威廉·布莱克》内容简介

　　诚如著名文学理论家哈罗德·布鲁姆所评，本书既非一部系统性的传记，也非一部对布莱克作品的详尽指南，而是一部面向广大读者的书。达姆罗施教授舍弃了艰深的理论阐述，发出了对理解与享受的邀约，以期帮助大众欣赏布莱克深刻的原创“幻象”，并打开通往布氏借以表达此类幻象的种种象征的“感知之门”。除此以外，本书作者还分享了自己多年来在授课中所确信的内容，以便稳定地将读者带入布莱克的诗与神话世界，同时巧妙地将它们与布氏的笔记、绘画、版画和速写手稿联系起来。

A brief introduction to William Blake

As noted literary theorist Harold Bloom has noted, the book is neither a systematic biography nor an exhaustive guide to Blake's work, but rather a book for a broad audience. Professor Damrosch has abandoned the abstruse theory and issued an invitation to understanding and enjoyment, in order to help the public appreciate Black's deeply original "illusions" and to open the "door of perception" to the symbols by which Buchner expressed such illusions. In addition, the author shares what he has been convinced of in his lectures over the years in order to steadily draw the reader into Blake's world of poetry and mythology, while skillfully connecting them to Buchard's notes, paintings, prints, and sketches.
