Blake and the Book of Job, by Andrew Solomon
As a work of art, William Blake’s famous set of engravings illustrating the Book of Job is undoubtedly one of his finest achievements. But he made it very clear that his art was never an end in itself. Its purpose was to communicate his visionary perceptions for the benefit of mankind: “To open the Eternal Worlds, to open the immortal Eyes/Of man inwards into the Worlds of Thought”. Similarly, I shall keep throughout to a psychological rather than a theological interpretation.
