The collection of essays presented in this volume represents some
of the best recent critical work on William Blake as poet, prophet,
visual artist, and social and political critic of his time. The
critical range that is represented includes examples of Marxist,
New Historicist, Feminist and Psychoanalytical approaches to Blake.
Taken together, the essays consider all areas and moments of
Blake's career as poet, from the early lyrics to his later epic
poems, and they have been chosen to reveal not only the range of
Blake's concerns but also to alert the reader to the rich variety
of contemporary criticism that is devoted to him. Although the
majority of essays are devoted to Blake as poet, others consider
his work as printmaker, illustrator, and visionary artist. However
severely individual essays choose to judge him, ultimately all the
contributions to this book affirm Blake as one of the great
geniuses of English art and letters. William Blake provides a
valuable introduction by one of Britain's foremost critics and will
be welcomed by students wanting to familiarise themselves with the
work of Blake.
