The Alternative Trinity: Gnostic Heresy in Marlowe, Milton, and Blake

Knowledge, was really Christ. This book explores the possibility of an underground 'perennial heresy', linking the Ophites to Blake. The 'alternative Trinity' is intermittently visible in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and even in Milton's Paradise Lost. Blake's notorious detection of a pro-Satan anti-poem, latent

in this 'theologically patriarchal' epic is less capricious, better grounded historically and philosophically, than is commonly realised. - ;This reprint of the late and much missed Anthony Nuttall's The Alternative Trinity reminds us of his astounding erudition as well as his brilliantly funny wit. These ingredients which have become the hallmark of Nuttall's work make this book both challenging and entertaining to read. - Elizabeth Muller, Revue --eacute--;lectronique d--eacute--;tudes sur le monde anglophone
