Creation Anxiety and The [First] Book of Urizen -- Index  -- 330 $aApocalyptic nightmares that humanly-created intelligences will one day rise up against their creators haunt the western creative imagination. However, these narratives find their initial expression not in the widely disseminated Frankenstein story but in William Blake's early mythological works. This book looks at why we persistently fear our own creations by examining Blake's illuminated books of the 1790's through the lens of Kierkegaard's theories of personality and of anxiety. It offers a close examination of Kierkegaard's and Blake's similar, and to an extent shared, historical milieux as 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aCreation in literature 606 $2Literary studies: c 1500 to c 1800 606 $aAnxiety in literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 615 0$aCreation in literature. 615 0$aAnxiety in literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 676 $a821.7 700 $aRovira$b James$0975506 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458227403321 996 $aBlake and Kierkegaard$92221282 997 $aUNINA
