“What I shall try to do is to make some sense of the notion I have long had that Blake is a king of brother poet-prophet of Langland, not a spiritual heir, since he had no knowledge of Langland’s poem, but someone who had the same view of poetry as the instrument of the spiritual regeneration of England and of mankind…” — Derek Pearsall, p. 1.
