Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the nature of William Blake's 'visions,' this inquiry delves into their potential roots in perceptual phenomena, such as visual and auditory hallucinations linked to migraine aura and synesthesia. Celebrated as a 'visionary,' Blake's experiences have often been overlooked. Worrall applies neuroscience to analyze Blake's art and writings, challenging the prevailing narratives surrounding his mental health and the notion of insanity, while emphasizing the absence of evidence for psychosis.
