Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Flaxman Blake Coleridge and Other Men of Genius Influenced by Swedenborg: Together With Flaxman's Allegory of the Knight of the Blazing Cross
The sketches are not intended to be in any way exhaustive, but only to give a general account of the life and work of Flaxman, Blake, Coleridge and others, and to show as far as possible how and to what extent they were directly in?uenced by the writings of Swedenborg. They were, of course, written for young readers, but it is hoped that they may be found of interest to many of more mature years who feel that what Swedenborg said of angels is to some extent true in this life to those who are angels in heart, namely, To grow old in heaven is to grow young.
