And did those feet in ancient time ?' The hymn 'Jerusalem', with its famous words by William Blake, stirs our hearts with its evocation of a new holy city built in 'England's green and pleasant land'. Equally popular, and adored by children, is the address to 'Tyger Tyger burning bright,/ In the forests of the night.' Writing of this calibre - heartfelt, vivid and profound - makes Blake one of the best-loved poets writing in English. Yet he was also a visionary artist. To follow Blake into his fascinating labyrinth of thought and feeling you need a guide who not only is deeply knowledgeable about Blake's life and times, but also shares Blake's values. That guide is Tobias Churton. Until now, Blake the guru has been lost under a myriad of inadequate biographies, college dissertations and arts commentaries, by people who have missed the luminescent keys to Blake's symbolism and liberating spirit and the essence of his titanic spiritual effort. In Jerusalem Churton creates an enthralling tapestry out of the threads of Blake's spiritual quest, as well as his struggle to put bread on his table. He conjures a superb portrait of Blake's London, and in particular the rivalries of the cultural community in which the poet-artist was usually misunderstood, and often cruelly abused. For some, Blake is a 'romantic poet' whose plain language, simple verse forms and sympathy with everyday humanity is deeply moving. To others, he is a revolutionary, an angry Cockney rebel with ideas about free sex. This biography, the first to show Blake in all his glory, is essential for those who seek spiritual awakening and an antidote to both materialism and to the commercialization of wonder.

A poor rehash of the fine works of Kathleen Raine.She passed on in 2003, and this book of Churton's appeared in 2015, It appears that Churton took the opportunity to re-publish her work under his own name. The attempt was futile since his ideas about Blake do not accord with hers, or with other leading experts such as Leo Damrosch.
He offers no unique ideas of his own on any aspect of Blake's work. Save your cash, avoid this book, and read Kathleen Raine instead. Her works include:
William Blake
Blake and Antiquity
Golgonooza: City of Imagination
Blake and the New Age
William Blake: World of Art
Also don't miss Leo Damrosch's seminal work "Eternity's Sunrise: The Imaginative World of William Blake." This book by the world's leading authority on Blake surpasses Churton's inept attempt, and contradicts several false ideas about Blake's life and beliefs propounded by Churton.

Good solid piece but somehow lacking in
something... A worthy addition to the books about Blake but surprisingly short
on something....not sure what. Glad I got
the kindle version.
A wonderful book for a serious scholar. However, I just have an interest in Blake and am not a scholar. This book was deeply probing, detailed and required a reader committed to understanding all minute facets of his writing and thinking.
