The conditions identified include visual hallucinations (some derived from migraine aura), and auditory and visual hallucinations derived from several types of synaesthesia. Over a long period of time, Blake has been celebrated as a ‘visionary,’ yet his ‘visions’ have not been discussed. Worrall draws on an understanding of neuroscience to examine both Blake’s visual art and writings, and discusses the lack of evidence pointing towards psychosis or pathological ill-health, thus questioning the rumours pertaining to Blake’s insanity. David Worrall is Emeritus Professor of English at Nottingham Trent University. He has published widely on both William Blake and Eighteenth-Century Theatre. 0aEuropean literature. 0aLiterature, Modernx18th century.975060 0aMedicine and the humanities.96632414aEuropean Literature.24aEighteenth-Century Literature.97506124aMedical Humanities.9663272 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303153253508iPrinted edition:z978303153255908iPrinted edition:z9783031532566 0aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,x2634-644396632840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-53254-2  aZDB-2-LCM  aZDB-2-SXL  c59892d59892
