Europe a Prophecy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Europe a Prophecy is a 1794 prophetic book by English poet and illustrator William Blake.
It is engraved on 18 plates, and survives in just nine known copies.[1] It followed America a Prophecy of 1793.
Northrop Frye[2] regarded it as Blake's greatest achievement in his personal form of mixed free verse. According to John Beer[3]
The drift of the argument in Europe is to show how a Christian message that has been veiled, and cults exalting virginity, have together fostered the so-called Enlightenment philosophy which left no place for the visionary.
