Introduction: 'A saint amongst the infidels & a heretic with the orthodox' -- 1. 'The deep indelible stain': Apotheosis in the Eighteenth Century -- 2. 'Spirits of fire': Ambiguous Figures in The French Revolution -- 3. 'Breathing! Awakening!': Contesting and Transforming Apotheosis in America a Prophecy -- 4. 'The night of holy shadows': Europe and Loyalist Reaction -- 5. 'Serpentine dissimulation': Apotheosis in Urizen, Ahania and The Song of Los -- 6.

'Ever expanding in the bosom of God': Deification and Apotheosis in Jerusalem -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.

This book provides compelling new readings of William Blake's poetry and art, including the first sustained account of his visionary paintings of Pitt and Nelson. It focuses on the recurrent motif of apotheosis, both as a figure of political authority to be demystified but also as an image of utopian possibility. It reevaluates Blake's relationship to Enlightenment thought, myth, religion, and politics, from The French Revolution to Jerusalem and The Laocoon. The book combines careful attention to cultural and historical contexts with close readings of the texts and designs, providing an innovative account of Blake's creative transformations of Enlightenment, classical, and Christian thought.
