William Blake's Religious Vision: There's a Methodism in His Madness,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this innovative study, Jesse challenges the prevailing view of Blake as an antinomian and describes him as a theological moderate who defended an evangelical faith akin to the Methodism of John Wesley. She arrives at this conclusion by contextualizing Blakes works not only within Methodism, but in relation to other religious groups he addressed in his art, including the Established Church, deism, and radical religions. Further, she analyzes his works by sorting out the theological road signs he directed to each audience. This approach reveals Blake engaging each faction through its most prized beliefs, manipulating its own doctrines through visual and verbal guideposts designed to communicate specifically with that group. She argues that, once we collate Blakes messages to his intended audiencessounding radical to the conservatives and conservative to the radicalswe find him advocating a system that would have been recognized by his contemporaries as Wesleyan in orientation. This thesis also relies on an accurate understanding of eighteenthcentury Methodism: Jesse underscores the empirical rationalism pervading Wesleys theology, highlighting differences between Methodism as practiced and as publicly caricatured.Undergirding this project is Jesses call for more rigorous attention to the dramatic character of Blakes works. She notes that scholars still typically use phrases like Blake says or Blake believes, followed by some claim made by a Blakean character, without negotiating the complex narrative dynamics that might enable us to understand the rhetorical purposes of that statement, as heard by Blakes respective audiences. Jesse maintains we must expect to find reflections in Blakes works of all the theologies he engaged. The question is: what was he doing with them, and why? In order to divine what Blake meant to communicate, we must explore how those he targeted would have perceived his arguments.Jesse concludes that by analyzing the dramatic character of Blakes works theologically through this wideangled, audienceoriented approach, we see him orchestrating a grand rapprochement of the extreme theologies of his day into a unified vision that integrates faith and reason.
