Abstract
After the Apocalypse at the end of The Four Zoas, the state of the redeemed world is surprisingly described as intellectual war. I argue that intellectual war is the struggle of an individual with his or her spectre, and specifically the postapocalyptic intellectual war alluded to in the last lines of the epic is the creative struggle to form works of art that the reading of the poem will engender in an ideal reader.
