While it’s worth recalling that, for Blake, a thing’s invisibility does not mean that it isn’t real or can’t be felt and experienced, his refusal to depict “all” contrasts with the totalizing impulse and desire for mastery through visualization that we find in other deployments of network theory, such as Franco Moretti’s claim in “Network Theory, Plot Analysis”: “What I took from network theory were less concepts than visualization: the possibility of extracting characters and interactions from a dramatic structure, and turning them into a set of signs that I could see at a glance, in a two-dimensional space” (10).	cache/blake-251.htm	txt/blake-251.txt
