MUNOZ, Adrián. Blake and the Infernal Meaning of the Bible. Acta poét [online]. 2010, vol.31, n.2, pp.133-164. ISSN 2448-735X.

The biblical tradition has beyond doubt exerted an enormous influence in the English literary tradition. Among the most passionate writers about this referential source William Blake stands out. This paper offers a discussion and an evaluation of the way in which Blake appropriates the lyricism and rhetoric of the Bible in his poetics, especially in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In this work, the section "Proverbs of Hell" provides a fascinating area to explore Blake's interpretation of the Old Testament. The essay also examines the passages in which Blake resorts to New Testament motifs in order to shape his attack on organized religion and to uphold the role of the Poetic Genius.

Palavras-chave : William Blake; literature and religion; biblical interpretation.
