초록
In his revolutionary age Blake considered himself to be a last poet-prophet who followed Miltonic tradition. As a critique, Blake viewed Milton as a prophetic poet who had become assimilated to Urizen, and created a poem, Milton, in order to correct Milton's religious and artistic errors. He recognized that Milton's religion had been the cause, by which the oppressive situations of political tyranny, psychic repression, and mental slavery had been brought about in Blake's age. Blake also thought it was a serious mistake for Milton to write his poems with “the daughters of Memory” not with “the daughters of Inspiration.” Blake's prophetic work, Milton, is a study of Milton's spiritual development, an analysis of his errors, and an account of his relationship to Blake. Blake's ultimate aim in the work is to rebuild the tradition of poetic prophecy by correcting Milton's errors and making him a new born poet-prophet. Milton's self purging is Blake's own, too. The prophetic power of Blake himself needed to be restored after the crisis of Felpham. Imagination, Jesus, is the human existence itself, while abstract philosophy or the reasoning power in man is a ‘negation’ in enmity against the imagination. Blake called the negation a ‘Selfhood’ or ‘Spectre,’ which must be put off and annihilated. Milton is a crucial survey of self-annihilation of the fallen humanity and an effort to rebuild the tradition of prophecy.
Abstract
In his revolutionary age Blake considered himself to be a last poet-prophet who followed Miltonic tradition. As a critique, Blake viewed Milton as a prophetic poet who had become assimilated to Urizen, and created a poem, Milton, in order to correct Milton's religious and artistic errors. He recognized that Milton's religion had been the cause, by which the oppressive situations of political tyranny, psychic repression, and mental slavery had been brought about in Blake's age. Blake also thought it was a serious mistake for Milton to write his poems with “the daughters of Memory” not with “the daughters of Inspiration.” Blake's prophetic work, Milton, is a study of Milton's spiritual development, an analysis of his errors, and an account of his relationship to Blake. Blake's ultimate aim in the work is to rebuild the tradition of poetic prophecy by correcting Milton's errors and making him a new born poet-prophet. Milton's self purging is Blake's own, too. The prophetic power of Blake himself needed to be restored after the crisis of Felpham. Imagination, Jesus, is the human existence itself, while abstract philosophy or the reasoning power in man is a ‘negation’ in enmity against the imagination. Blake called the negation a ‘Selfhood’ or ‘Spectre,’ which must be put off and annihilated.
