Abstract

The article focuses on the contextual displacement and conditions of readability in the poem "Jerusalem," by William Blake. The author examines the possible sources of the poem, claims that it can be understood as an example of auto-citation, and discusses how Blake sought to bring a visionary relationship between his readers and the world through his poetry.
