Dalia di Prima, at the University of Bacău in Romania, has just published a short paper titled "William Blake and the Theme of Creation" in the Ro-Brit Student Journal.
RO-BRIT STUDENT JOURNAL is an annual English journal dedicated to publishing papers written by students in the Faculty of Letters (and not only), under the auspices of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures from “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău. As Dalia explains:
This article deals with the theme of creation according to Blake and it aims to analyse the various
poetic devices by grasping the poet’s mood and understanding his deep feelings.
Blake was the Poet of Imagination; therefore, his style is rich in vivid images, symbolism and
personifications. In order to present the subject, three poems are to be analysed to demonstrate the worth
of humanity because of our God-gifted spiritual dimension: our soul. However, this latter is often neglected
because of the original sin and, more specifically, of materialism and consumerism in society.
