Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Times Critics' Top Art Books of 2019"
"Published to accompany the major, one-stop-only Blake retrospective now at the Tate Britain (through Feb. 2), this beautiful book distills the spirit of the revolutionary poet, artist and prophet-saint of what we now call social justice. The scholar E. P. Thompson once said that to study Blake (1757-1827) is to realize that there are “a great many William Blakes.” And there’s a new one to be found here at every turn of the page."---Holland Cotter, The New York Times
"With its art-historical focus, [William Blake] helpfully contextualizes Blake while still acknowledging his originality. Thus, it will be especially valuable for those new to Blake and the art of his time, but it will also be useful to Blake scholars focused on literature."---D.D. Schierenbec, Choice
