In all of his works Blake struggled with the question of how chaos can be assimilated into imaginative order. Blake's own answer changed in the course of his poetic career. Christine Gallant contends that during the ten year period of composition of Blake's first comprehensive epic, The Four Zoas, Blake's myth expanded from a closed, static system to an open, dynamic process. She further argues that it is only through attention to the changing pattern of Jungian archetypes in the poem that one can discern this profound change. Using the depth psychology of Jung, Professor Gallant presents a comprehensive interpretation of Blake's poetry from his early "Lambeth" prophecies to his mature works, The Four Zoas, Milton, and Jerusalem. She offers a Jungian critical approach that respects the work's autonomy, but still suggests how literature is an ongoing imaginative experience in which archetypal symbols affect their literary contexts. What interests the author is the function that the very process of mythmaking had for Blake. Professor Gallant finds that the metaphysical opposition between God and Satan in Blake's earlier work gradually evolves into an interplay of these powers in the later works. The quality of Chaos changes for Blake from something unknown and feared, contrary to Order, to something intimately known and embraced.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

La perte de la langue unique est-elle vraiment un drame ? À lire les travaux de nombreux critiques, exégètes ou philosophes contemporains, on pourrait en douter. Si l'image de la tour inachevée évoque encore pour certains un champ de ruines, l'univers babélien qui est le nôtre, celui du multiple, tend souvent désormais à être considéré comme une bienheureuse nécessité - un ordre, au sens le plus noble du terme. La littérature moderne a joué un rôle crucial dans cette volonté d'en finir avec une image négative de Babel. Mais en reprenant ce vieux mythe biblique, des écrivains comme Kafka, Dos Passos, Borges, Pierre Emmanuel ou Paul Auster ne se sont pas contentés d'ouvrir la voie à un renversement axiologique : ils ont subtilement mis au jour le substrat politique, éthique et philosophique du récit, et souligné, en particulier, les enjeux herméneutique et téléologique qui lui sont attachés. Ordre et chaos n'existent qu'à la faveur d'un sens et d'une finalité à l'aune desquels il est possible de les évaluer.

"'Legendary Rome' is the first book to offer a comparative treatment of the reinvention of Rome's origins in the poetry of Vergil, Tibullus and Propertius. It also examines the impact that the changing topography of Rome, as orchestrated by the emperor Augustus, had on those poets' renditions of Rome's legendary past. When the poets explore the significance of Augustus' reconstruction of the Palatine and Capitoline hills, they create new meaning and memories for the story of Rome's legendary foundations. As the tradition of Rome's mythic and legendary origins evolves through each poetic revision, the past transforms and is reinvented anew.The exploration of what constitutes a civilised landscape for each poet leads to significant conclusions about the dynamic and evolving nature of shared public memories. Written when Rome was in the process of defining a new, post-war identity, the poems studied here capture the growing tension between community and individual development, the restoration of peace versus expansion through military means, and stability and change within the city."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
