Story0
America a Prophecy (1793) is the first book in Blake’s Continental Prophecies - the other two being Europe a Prophecy (1794) and The Song of Los (1795). The poem was engraved on 18 plates with illustrations by Blake, and survives in 14 known copies. Written during a time of great political and social upheaval, Blake uses his own complex invented mythology to explore the human need to resist tyranny. His verse is rich in metaphor, powerful, and apocalyptic in scope.

King Claudius, when a young man, wrote a five-act tragedy which was damned, and all reference to it forbidden under penalty of death. The King has a son - Hamlet - whose tendency to soliloquize has so alarmed his mother, Queen Gertrude, that she has sent for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to devise some Court revels for his entertainment. Rosencrantz is a former lover of Ophelia, to whom Hamlet is betrothed, and they lay their heads together to devise a plan by which Hamlet may be put out of the way. Some Court theatricals are in preparation.

Hi ha una manera de definir El misantrop: el món contra mi, i, si convé, jo contra el món. Si algú em porta un sonet que és més dolent que el pebre, en nom de què podria afalagar-lo? Si em jutgen perquè he dit allò que havia de dir, per què hauria de buscar algú que recomanés la meva innocència al tribunal? Que tinc raó és clar: que em jutgin, doncs, i demostrin si són al costat de la veritat o amb l'interès que sembla moure-ho tot en el món dels homes. O amb mi o contra mi, amb la raó o contra la raó.

Despite its patina of humor, the work is a merciless exposé of the commercial middle class dishonesty, and the convenient immorality hiding behind social conventions, which are characteristic of a developing urban society. The most noble character, Serafima, is a compelling mixture of naïveté, whimsicality, sentimentality, and obstinate practicality - one of the finest character portraits in Russian drama.
