William Blake (1757–1827), poet and author of “Illuminated Manuscripts” (proto-graphic-novels), was an anarchist before the word was coined. He was also both a mystic and completely unrenowned in his time. He attacked organized religion fiercely, and published the heretical The Marriage of Heaven & Hell. One interesting quote from that book: “Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion.”
