These essays, gathered as a Festschrift in honour of one of the great scholars of our time, view Blake’s works from a variety of perspectives. The breadth of subject-matter is considerable, ranging from Blakes’s earliest to his latest poems and designs, and including considerations of his iconography, his intellectual milieu, His poetic diction, his religious conceptions and his critical reputation, as well as detailed interpretations of his particular works. Each essay is a distinctively new contribution to the study of its subject. The book is profusely illustrated.
