An edition of Blake's poems concerning his beliefs that were not published in his lifetime. His wit and characteristic outspokenness show his combination of skepticism and firm conviction. These pieces were drawn from his notebooks, some of which are fragments, and a few seem to overlap, as if he were experimenting with different openings. His unfinished poem titled “The Everlasting Gospel” gives an enduring message, and presents a humanist document with few parallels.
