Absolutely fascinating - in fact both revelatory and thrilling. --Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials and President of the Blake Society A fascinating book, which unearths amazing parallels between the poetry of William Blake and modern neuroscience. This book shows that Blake's poetry was even more insightful and prophetic than previously thought. At the same time, the book is a very enlightening examination of the pathology of the human psyche, and the pathological culture it has given rise to, offering urgent suggestions on how a new self--and a new world--may come into being. --Steve Taylor, author of The Fall: The Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of a New Era and Back to Sanity: Healing the Madness of our Minds Blake's thought cries out to be understood in the light of cerebral asymmetry. This is a highly original and stimulating book, the best I have read on one of the greatest of English poets. --Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World
