Zusatztext 'The illuminating vision of Re-envisioning Blake brings vivid focus to 'minute particulars' of his visual and verbal works! and his spiritual and personal lives. It also expands to reconsider the broader histories surrounding Blake and the reverberations of his thought in art and in politics. This collection represents the eclectic state of Blake studies now! and meditates on the contentions and reinventions involved in tracing the past and interpreting it for the future.' - Tristanne Connolly!
