William Blake - Contemporary Critical Essays

This New Casebook contains ten essays written about Blake''s poetry since 1970 selected to show the diversity of Blake criticism during the last twenty years and the ways in which contemporary critical theories open up new readings of his work. Essays representative of Marxist, psychoanalytic, deconstructionist, feminist and new historicist criticism are included. David Punter''s Introduction places these in the context of recent developments in critical theory and shows how today''s student can best engage with Blake''s complex and rewarding work.>
