Milton, Blake, Frye – po latach

Milton, Blake and Frye Years Later The first Polish edition of the epochal literary work Fearful Symmetry by Northrop Frye creates an occasion to reflect not only on William Blake’s place in world literature but also on his role as one of the first artists and philosophers to critically appraise the human condition in the modern world of the industrial society. It led him to – as Frye writes – demand “release of the creative power” and creation of vision of the “imaginative culture”, as such release inevitably appears as an important, if not the most important problem pertaining to society’s future. This requires new formula for spiritual experience liberated from restrictions of automatic application of “Moral Law” rules, which is inherent to institutionalised form of religion
