An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

In Blake’s Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1793), one of his more difficult visionary works, Oothoon, a metaphoric persona for the enslaved British women of Blake’s society, is brutally raped by Bromion, and subsequently rejected by her would-be lover Theotormon. The plot involves contemplations of this situation from these three characters, as they work through the present sexual/gender politics. Visions, though not as widely read as Songs, is a highly crucial work to Blake’s conceptualization of gender and sexual liberation/freedoms.
