E. P. Thompson's long-awaited book on William Blake was published shortly after the historian's death in August 1993. Acclaimed as one of his best and most deeply felt works, it appears now for the first time in paperback. Written with a vivid passion, and bearing the marks of Thompson's lifelong struggle against authoritarian and anti-humanitarian politics both at the level of the individual and of the state, Witness Against the Beast: William Blake and the Moral Law is a profound enquiry into the structure of Blake's thought and the character of his sensibility. Its qualities are among those which place Thompson himself in the same tradition of dissenting values and non-conforming radicalism represented by Blake some two hundred years earlier.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. 9 1/2" Tall. "(M)y central study...falls chiefly within the years 1788 and 1794. This enables me to approach three themes. First, the antimonian tradition, the possible ways in which it could have been received by Blake, and his own unique notations...Second, the moment of the founding of the Church of the New Jerusalem, and Blake's situation within the controversies surrouding this. Third, the moment of confluence of antimonian and of 'Jacobinal' and deist influences, and the continuing argument to which this confluence gave rise in Blake's mind and art." [Introduction] 234 pages, with 20 illustrations, two Appendixes, and Index; plus xxi pages Contents, [List of] Illustrations, Preface, and Introduction. Covers are sound and clean; text is clean and strong.
