Book description: Thompson, author of The Making of the English Working Class, uncovers historical information suggesting that the poet William Blake was a member of an esoteric Protestant sect called the Muggletonians (contemporaries of the Diggers and the Levellers). In promoting the book, Thompson — a dissenter to the core — referred to himself as "The Last Muggletonian." Great book!
