Answer 1

Blake - Age old question: If God is the “author” and creator of all goodness and love is he also the creator and author of all evil and hate? To Blake, the answer to this question is “yes.” God would necessarily create contrasting states to allow man freedom of choice and the chance to gain wisdom. We must suffer pain and know evil, feel evil to know true joy and goodness.

Blake declared “That which can be made Explicit to the Idiot is not worth my care”
Blake was a born ironist who enjoyed mystifying his well-meaning but literal-minded friends and took pleasure in shocking the dull and complacent “angels of his day by being deliberately outrageous in representing his work and opinions
“all I know is in the Bible…” this is an exaggeration…his work deals with aspects of the over-all biblical plot of the creation and fall of man, the history of the generations of man in the fallen world, redemption, and the promise of a recovery of Eden and of a New Jerusalem.
Blake shared with a number of contemporary German philosophers the point of view that man’s fall (or the malaise of modern culture) is essentially a mode of psychic disintegration and of resultant alienation from oneself, one’s world, and one’s fellow-men, and that man’s hope of recovery lies in the process of reintegration.
Blake says we achieve redemption by liberating and intensifying the bodily senses—as he said, by “an improvement of sensual enjoyment”—and by attaining and sustaining that mode of vision that does not cancel the fallen world, but transfigures it, by revealing the lineaments of its eternal imaginative form. (Norton Anthology)


For Wordsworth, the mind was “naturally the mirror of the most fair and most interesting properties of nature.” And all good poetry is the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings”
beauty of the commonplace—while many Romantic writers sought new sensations and feelings in the unusual and exotic, Wordsworth encouraged people to look for true feeling and true beauty closer to home—in the experiences of ordinary people living simple lives close to nature.

Answer 2

Since Wordsworth wrote after Blake, Blake would not have directly "critiqued" Wordsworth's work... but, to apply theory, Blake questioned the divine, not whether there was a divine. Wordsworth was far more interested in finding the divine within ourselves through experiencing the natural world.
