This paper sheds light on the reasons why William Blake was less popular in his days than his contemporary Wordsworth. While both poets were concerned with significance of emotions and feelings against reason and material selfishness, still the way they expressed their views differed slightly. This was the reason why critics paid more attention to Wordsworth's work while Blake's poetry was often dismissed as works of a radical mind, more interested in social protest than aesthetic expression of views. 5-pages, bibliography lists 1 source.
