TERRIBLE SYMMETRY. A STUDY OF THE WORKS OF WILLIAM BLAKE

Northrop Frye's book, titled after William Blake's famous poem, paradoxically does not analyze it in detail, but only refers to it in a few chapters. Frye, known for criticizing contemporary interpretations of Blake, deliberately avoids the expectations of the reader who expects an in-depth commentary on this canonical work. So why does the title refer to that "terrible symmetry"?
