Hagstrum’s approach to Blake’s work as “composite art.” Two years later, in his Book of Irish Verse, Yeats further affirmed that “William Blake has been recently claimed as of Irish descent, upon the evidence of Dr. Carter Blake; and if, in the course of years, that claim becomes generally accepted, he should be included also in Irish anthologies” (quoted in Reception 39).	cache/blake-253.htm	txt/blake-253.txt
