영문 초록

William Blake's The Book of Urizen could be said to dramatize the problem of artistic representation and the forms of imagination. It raises the essential question of whether the physical forms of artistic execution can give an adequate idea of the "infinite" forms of imagination. The Book of Urizen is a poem which narrated the fall from Eternity into a narrow world of sense. It is a parody of the conception of the sublime by Edmund Burke. The sublime terror resulted from Urizen can be interpreted as the evidence of sensory limitations rather than mental exaltation. Recent commentators such as Jean-Francois Lyotard have insisted that the sublime actually takes place within the very human struggle to give a form to what exceeds sensible apprehension. Blake transforms the terror of the Burkean experience of the sublime into the artistic production driven by "Eternal Prophet" Los who works and labours incessantly for artistic form-making. Though his labour repeatedly fails, it finally will show that this profound anxiety to give a form and to match the artists' imperfect production with his aspiration to perfection is the ground on which Blake redefines the sublime. An artistic creation of form-making is a never-ending process which opens to the world of the sublime, Eternity through imagination.
