Can poem and picture collaborate successfully in a composite art of
text and design? Or does one art inevitably dominate the other?
W.J.T. Mitchell maintains that Blake's illuminated poems are an
exception to Suzanne Langer's claim that "there are no happy
marriages in art-only successful rape." Drawing on over one hundred
reproductions of Blake's pictures, this book shows that neither the
graphic nor the poetic aspect of his composite art consistently
predominates: their relationship is more like an energetic rivalry,
a dialogue between vigorously independent modes of expression.
W.J.T. Mitchell is Professor of English and Art and Design at the
University of Chicago and editor of Critical Inquiry. Originally
published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
