AB Blake and Moore have a similar idea of visionary imagination as the power that divinisesthe self and expands it beyond social convention. The aim of this thesis is to situate the authorsin the different moments they occupy in the process of secularisation.The second objective of this thesis is to define the characteristics of the natural supernaturalin Blake and Moore and the differences between their attitudes towards the cultural,philosophical and social circumstances in which they propose their versions of re-enchantment.The third objective of this thesis is to explore the notion of nature in the work of Blake andMoore to show that there is a discursive aspect of nature that fits into rational structures andanother excluded aspect. This thesis analyses how these two authors present the possibility ofthe regeneration and show that it depends on the transformation of the excluded aspect of natureinto positive energies, rather than on a transcendent agency. The comparative analysis revealsthe ideas of transformation of nature and of the mind both authors propose, and the imaginativeand visionary modes of perceptions that would lead to this change.Finally, this thesis discovers the particular interpretation of Blake Moore creates and itskey elements. For this purpose, the thesis explores the Fall in Blake and Moore as a) adisfunction of the faculties (embodied in mythical figures), b) the conventional discourses ofreligion, science, philosophy and c) a mixture of these.
