Book Synopsis
William Blake’s reputation as a staunch individualist is based in large measure on his repeated attacks on institutions and belief systems that constrain the individual’s imagination. Blake, however, rarely represents isolation positively, suggesting that the individual’s absolute freedom from communal pressures is not the ideal.

Trade Review
“A highly synthetic work. It is up to date on Blake criticism and Romanticism studies and places Blake in a rich web of contemporary theoretical discourses.” * literary faculty, Sarah Lawrence College *
“With this provacative, powerfully argued, and elegantly written study, Wright makes a significant contribution to efforts to enlarge Blake’s reputation by exploring some of the less emphasized and less understood strands of thought in some of his works.”
