  This is distinct from the drawings on the reverse of the paper, which in spite of the very basic landscape element linking the figures across the bottom and hints of clouds linking some of the figures above, are to all intents and purposes studies of individual figures or groups of figures, most of which later reappear in America or Europe; both recto and verso are conveniently reproduced facing each other in Libson’s catalogue. However, the only other known pair of figures playing harps is Har and Heva in the lost fifth illustration to Tiriel.

summary:
  More prob- lematic than the claim that the binaries—science vs. religion, nature vs. artifice, and democracy vs. monarchy—exist within texts is Rovira’s assertion that Blake and Kierkegaard repre- sent, if not precisely two polarities, two sides of the study’s central binary, “creation and anxiety”: “Blake’s mythology rep- resents the ‘creation’ and Kierkegaard’s philosophy the ‘anxi- ety’ of creation anxiety” (2). Just as this synthesis of history and subjectivity offers a rethinking of Blake and of Kierkegaard, Rovira’s revision of Derridean deconstruction from the hindsight of new histori- cism challenges the assumption of mutual exclusion between the two theoretical positions.

  Roger Whitson and Jason Whittaker, William Blake and the Digital Humanities: Collaboration, Participation, and Social Media

summary:
  Taking this question seriously demands, in Whitson and Whittaker’s estimation, “a truly social and digital media approach to Blake studies—one that can extend his influence beyond the literary approaches to his work and embrace the grassroots media ecosystem emerging in the early twenty-first century” (5). Drawing on trending topics in media studies and theory, Whitson and Whittaker chart new directions for the study and teaching of Blake, not just as an author but as what they call a “virtuality,” following Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze, and Levi Bryant: the “condition under which different Blakes are produced and reproduced” (28).

  He has published a number of papers on Blake, most recently “‘an excellent saleswoman’: The Last Years of Catherine Blake” (Blake) and is coeditor (with Mark Crosby and Troy Patenaude) of a collection of essays exploring a range of new critical approaches to William Blake, Re-envisioning Blake (2012). This note first discusses a reader’s query, in all probability written in response to one of these reviews, concerning the whereabouts of Catherine Blake, then goes on to record another review of volume 2 of Cunningham’s Lives, which makes several new references to William Blake.

As facsimiles of Blake’s pages the reproductions are not completely successful: the original pages of copy E are matte, for one thing, and these reproductions are all printed on glossy paper, with what appears to be a glossier finish on top (or perhaps just glossy ink).

At the Petit Palais, by reuniting se- ries of drawings, prints, and paintings, attention was focused instead upon the processes involved in Blake’s image-making and his role as a visual artist, not to overturn but to augment the received perception of him as a writer.

  Burning Bright: William Blake and the Art of the Book, John Rylands Library, University of Manchester, February–June 2013

summary:
  Burning Bright showcased a selection of the Blake collection at the John Rylands, but it seemed that none of what was on display was actually new; that is, there was no work of art that had not previously been listed in G. E. Bentley, Jr.’s Blake Books (1977) and Blake Books Supplement (1995) or Robert N. Essick’s William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations (1991), though the show included some newly discovered copies of works with his commercial engravings, most of which have since been included in Bentley’s annual checklists in Blake and the online compilation of those lists, “William Blake and His Circle.” It was curated by the archives and visual materials manager, Stella Halkyard, and grew out of Colin Trodd’s Visions of Blake: William Blake in the Art World 1830-1930 (2012) as well as the efforts of his students, who, after receiving special training on prints, etchings, and engravings, found what was on display.

  Rather, he focuses on Blake’s verse letter to Thomas Butts, “To my Friend Butts I write,” and on the Solitary’s vision of the heavenly Jerusalem in book 2 of Wordsworth’s The Excursion, and uses them to demonstrate how poetry offers “a different type of engagement with religion: one that can enrich rather than narrow understanding, include rather than exclude, and creatively interrelate—rather than destructively set at odds—different approaches to religion” (1).

  The most useful is probably the concordance of the words used in the reported conversations, but interesting as well are the speculative remarks in the introduction on Blake’s pro- nunciation and the implications of rhymes (xxi-xxxv) and the supporting tables of perfect and imperfect rhymes in the ap- pendices. Though there is a danger that some will treat this whole judicious assem- blage of somewhat problematic facts as having the same kind of authority as Blake’s own words, the lightheartedly learned tone that prevails should inhibit anyone from taking it all too literally.

This chapter would be stronger if it included a survey and some more examples of Cromek’s chalcographic output so that we could see his strengths and weaknesses, judge the trajectory of his career, or consider other ways that his engraving could shed light on his later projects, and on Blake’s.

  R. Paul Yoder, The Narrative Structure of William Blake’s Poem Jerusalem: A Revisionist Interpretation

summary:
  Yoder takes his cue from richard Lanham and Julia Wright to articulate the ways in which Blake’s unusually opaque style demands that readers oscillate between look- ing at the style and looking through the style. Yoder closely reads a large number of plates both to demonstrate the pres- ence of an oscillation between clarity and obscurity of the nar- rative and to indicate how Blake is seeking actively to trans- form his reader to learn what Albion must learn about the unity of mankind and individuality of minute particulars.

  He is, as everyone knows, a great Blake scholar who has sorted out Blake’s artistic oeuvre in a magnificent two-volume work, The Paintings and Drawings of William Blake. This is not due to carelessness, to which Blake was occasionally prone; it is more than just loose drawing, for it loses the archangel’s sympathy for the earthly couple, which is so important to the meaning of the work, and it is not comparable to the drawing in the three 1820s Paradise Lost watercolors.

  If William and Catherine Blake were unable to move into the house until the end of January, their move from 28 Poland Street to 13 Hercules Buildings can be dated between 24 January 1791, the earliest date we can assume Clay vacated the premises after being robbed by his housekeeper,6 and 9 March 1791, when Blake is first recorded as ratepayer for the property.7 4. Rate book entries for 13 Hercules Buildings, Lambeth, re- veal that by early March 1791 the Blakes had moved from their former residence at 28 Poland Street, Soho, to their new house.2 In the second edition of Blake Records (2004), G. E. Bentley, Jr., suggests that the Blakes may have moved to 13 Hercules Buildings as early as “the autumn of 1790” or at least “before the end of 1790.”3

  From the outset, Bentley is clear that much of the information presented in William Blake in the Desolate Market is drawn from his earlier work on Blake, specifically Blake Records (2nd ed., 2004), Blake Books (1977), Blake Books Supplement (1995), and “William Blake and His Circle,” published annually in Blake. While such a view is restated at the beginning of William Blake in the Desolate Market with Bentley’s claim that Blake was “most comfortable living in his imagination” rather than in “the world of pence and penury” (3), the information that Bentley has marshaled, particularly the amount of money earned over the first twenty-five years or so of Blake’s professional career, suggests a rather different William Blake: a highly skilled engraver frequently attuned to a developing marketplace, who explored numerous commercial opportunities with varying degrees of economic success.

The “only justifica- tion” for such tampering is that “to do so brings us nearer to Blake” (par. 26).

  Drawing on the work of Maureen McLane, Horgan contends that ballads functioned in a similar fashion, defining them as a subcategory of song in opposition to the dominant narrative in which ballads are seen as being “constitutive of the poetry of the Romantic era” (23, quoting McLane), and shows how political songs often used the melodies of psalms. More importantly, Horgan offers much on the context in which Blake operated and sets out a compelling narrative on the interconnectedness between songs, psalms, and ballads, demonstrating the role of political songs in shaping political, literary, and print culture in eighteenth-century Britain.

summary:
  Pyle, for his part, advocates a complex, nuanced relationship toward the work in which Blake undertook the more congenial enterprise of “correcting” Dante, a poet whom he admired but whose religious views were at odds with his own antinomianism. As Pyle describes it, Blake saw the relationship as “a partnership” (14), “a respectful engagement, full of loving corrections, the development of opportunities missed in the original poem, and the fulfillment of those parts where Dante, through his more restricted view of God, fell short” (267-68).

But in 2014–15, William Blake: Apprentice and Master presented an artisan who labored to master difficult processes—bearing no small resemblance to the curator, whose life work it has been to understand and to master the techniques used by Blake.

  Both occur within the context of a seven-thousand-year cycle, as Blake says in Night the First of The Four Zoas: “Then Eno, a daughter of Beulah, took a Moment of Time / And drew it out to [twenty years del.] seven thousand years” (Night the First, ll. 222-23, K 270; p. 9.9-10, E 304).Frye’s Blake was edited by Geoffrey Keynes—likely either the three-volume 1925 The Writings of William Blake or else the one-volume 1927 Poetry and Prose of William Blake. Therefore, all Blake citations will be from the more accessible Blake: Complete Writings with Variant Readings (1966), abbreviated K. Each Keynes citation is followed by a reference to David V. Erdman, The Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake (1988), abbreviated E. One cannot help but speculate whether Frye’s response to Blake would have been different had he not been introduced to the poet by an edition that regularizes Blake’s eccentric spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.

  Sarah Haggarty and Jon Mee, William Blake: Songs of Innocence and of Experience: A Reader’s Guide to Essential Criticism

summary:
  Its two authors both write clearly and well, and they usually explain concepts and terms that would not be familiar to undergraduates, but the efficiently allusive prose is still likely to be over the heads of many of those seeking help reading Blake criticism. This chapter is particularly likely to be useful to undergraduates looking for a place to start reading Blake criticism, especially because these approaches are not only au courant but often fruitful when applied to the Songs, even by beginners; furthermore, they don’t call for a personal supply of stopping varnish and nitric acid or seem to require that one preface every critical argument by tracking it back to its origins in the nineteenth century.

summary:
  “Reading Blake and Derrida—Our Caesars neither Praised nor Buried.” Critics have long acknowledged Blake’s critique of pity in the Songs of Innocence and of Experience: “Pity would be no more, / If we did not make somebody Poor” (“The Human Abstract”).The other representation of pity that has occupied Blake critics over time is the color print Pity, which is analyzed by David Bindman in William Blake: His Art and Times.

summary:
  In seven “principles,” Blake sets out to prove that a spiritual dimension of man, which he names the “Poetic Genius,” exists, and that this has been the origin of all religions. Blake’s key term “Poetic Genius” is also directly linked to a Swedenborgian context, insofar as it appears twice in Blake’s annotations to the English translation of Swedenborg’s Divine Love and Divine Wisdom (1788).

  But the resumed Blake recording sessions of the early seventies coincided not only with his decision to take formal vows of refuge in Tibetan Buddhism, but also with an acceleration of his reading as he prepared to teach a series of literature classes on Blake. There are several reasons why this 2017 album release represents a significant moment for anyone interested in the role played by William Blake in shaping the counterculture of the sixties (and the role of that counterculture in shaping academic and popular understandings of Blake).

  This indicates that the sketch was not made during Blake’s initial visit to Felpham in July 1800,He was in Felpham for most of July 1800: “On 5 July 1800, Flaxman sent with Blake a letter and gifts to Hayley, and on 16 July Hayley wrote to Flaxman that ‘our good enthusiastic Friend Blake will … extend the time of his Residence in the south a little longer than we at first proposed’” In academic studies, the reverse has been true: the scholarly discussion of Blake and religion continues to flourish, and since the early 1990s in particular has sought a more detailed understanding of the material and cultural contexts of Blake’s religion,Blake is at the heart of the ferment of interest in London’s dissenting subcultures catalyzed by Jon Mee’s Dangerous Enthusiasm (1992) and discussed in a range of subsequent works, including E. P. Thompson’s Witness against the Beast (1993), Robert Rix’s William Blake and the Cultures of Radical Christianity (2007), Magnus Ankarsjö’s William Blake and Religion (2009), and a host of essay collections and journal articles.

  Judging from the critical work put into play throughout the book, it would be easy to assume that this type of engagement is completely new, yet that would be an error in judgment and in research, since a number of Blake scholars, including myself, have sought to position the assessment of Blake upon this same theoretical ground. As she states in her conclusion, “Two centuries of Blake criticism have followed from the working through of those moments in his poetry that are resistant to synthesis[,] with criticism having to repeat, master, narrativize, and trace the geneses of the inassimilable” (136).

  He cites Alexander Gilchrist, who complains in his 1863 Life of William Blake that America a Prophecy “has no distinctly seizable pretensions to a prophetic character, being, like the rest of Blake’s ‘Books of Prophecy,’ rather a retrospect, in its mystic way, of events already transpired” (quoted in Bundock 169). Because Bundock reconfigures the manner in which scholars have traditionally thought about prophecy, as both a literary mode and a form of mystic insight, his Blake chapters offer a trenchant reconsideration of Blake’s prophetic writings.

summary:
  On the contrary, Miłosz uses Blake to elucidate some of the Miloszian intricacies (see, for example, his discussion of Les Arcanes in chapter 34). As I have stressed before, Miłosz applies Blake, first and foremost, to his own times and culture, pointing to Ulro and the myth that lies behind it as the most valid and imaginatively potent description of the secularized twentieth century, with its Urizenic cosmos, Urizenic consumer culture, Urizenic theology unable to defend religion, and Urizenic literature.

Blake dismissed the ancient Romans as “slaves of the Sword“ (E 95), victimizers and victims of a pervasive and pernicious imperial culture of war; by adding “of Innocence” to “Auguries” in the title he suggests a distinction between his benign visionary practice and the corrupt Roman form.

  When Edwin J.

Instead, these critics advise Blake scholars to valorize the obstructions to this completion embedded within the texts themselves by way of deliberate catachresis and a variety of other visual and verbal strategies designed to thwart any semblance of significatory or narrative closure.

summary:
  There is an obvious element of anachronism here, because such comparisons would not have been possible for those in Blake’s day who bought individual copies of the works, and may not always have been possible for Blake himself, since he did not possess in material form the complete works of William Blake. The idea that the distinctive formal properties of Blake’s illuminated books are aspects of his assault on authority is already well established in Blake studies, but it has rarely been pursued as fully or as clearly as it is here.

  William Butler Yeats and Edwin John Ellis’s three-volume edition of The Works of William Blake (1893) was a watershed for Blake’s afterlife abroad, proposing an esotericist view of the artist and anticipating Jean H. 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).

Chapter 7, “Blake Interpreting Blake: The Gates of Paradise,” demonstrates “how Blake used the consolidated myth as the basis for reinterpreting his own work” (255), in this case “to remediate his vision through what had become his own horizon of expectations, adding some mottos, a verbal apparatus and a concluding bimodal image act, all to create a new perspective from which to view The Gates of Paradise” (259). In “Conclusion: The Truth of Myth,” Spector goes back to Frye to consider how the exoteric approach gained dominance in Blake studies.

The second wife, Mary Larkholm, was the mother of Kezia (1748–​87) and Ebenezer; the third, Charity Standard (d. 1768), was the mother of Manoah and Job (1760–​1815); and the fourth, Elizabeth Read, was the mother of Charity (1772–​1847).

Given the facts of Richard Edwards’s life, I was surprised to read in the Tate Britain exhibition catalogue (p. 105), “After Edwards’s demise (he had become insane), Blake seems to have acquired a stock of the Night Thoughts publication and hand-coloured these for patrons, creating a luxurious new version of the illustrations for them.”

  Moreover, tracing these ideas in Jerusalem through the lens of network theory supports an ecological reading of Blake, as it reveals he had realized a basic but powerful insight: that, as ecologist Bernard Patten puts it, “ecology is networks” (343). 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).

That is also true of his “Chronology of William Blake,” which is more thorough than most in placing Blake and his works (including omitted ones) in the context of culture and politics of his time, but does not indicate to beginners which juxtapositions are significant or why.

An interesting similarity is that both “Holy Thursday” from Innocence and “The Martyrdom of St. Paul’s” are written in fairly loose long couplets that embody the long parade of children walking in pairs; Glen remarks of the Blake poem that they are walking “in the rhythm of the verse, marching hobbledehoy through the streets of London” (121).

  Marsha Keith Schuchard, A Concatenation of Conspiracies: “Irish” William Blake and Illuminist Freemasonry in 1798

summary:
  Schuchard’s research in Moravian archives in 2001 (Davies, “William Blake in Contexts” 4) (with subsequent collaboration with Keri Davies) resulted in the announcement in 2004 in these pages of her startling discovery that Blake’s mother had attended the Moravian Church, and that the church took a decided interest in—​as it did with all church members—​Catherine Wright’s marriage to her first husband, Thomas Armitage. In her earlier monograph, Schuchard speculated as to why there is resistance to her contentions regarding Blake and the esoteric and erotic background of the more radical Swedenborgian and Moravian sects, and why so many have shied away from the ideas she examines: “Sensible academic critics have cautiously refrained from taking the plunge, for this kind of historical detective work must reject most academic conventional wisdom about the eighteenth century … and dig deep into the esoteric underground of the mystical counterculture” (William Blake 10).

Chapter 1 looks at what happens before Milton’s introduction to those characters, covering the Fall and the creation of Time and Space—​all of which, as Graham reveals, come about through performative speech acts.

Catherine Blake died in October 1831, so an 1831 watermark in a book does not rule out her participation in that book’s production—​but an 1832 watermark does.

Some time ago I wondered how Blake would have handled the painting in the literal sense, as it was very large and must have been unwieldy.

  This movement coincided with the publication of the late-Victorian books that began to bring Blake to a wider audience: William Muir’s facsimiles of 1884–​90, the second edition of Alexander Gilchrist’s Life of William Blake (1880), and, crucially, Edwin John Ellis and William Butler Yeats’s The Works of William Blake (1893). In May 1897, a review reprinted in the literature-focused “Red Page” of the Bulletin, then a highly influential nationalist journal, wended its way to the idea of Edward Gibbon as a visionary architect of history by throwing out this casual and apparently superfluous allusion to Blake: “Among the visionary persons who presented themselves to William Blake was the man who built the Pyramids” (Dowden).

  The younger son, Louis-Alexandre-Céleste, succeeded his father as premier gentilhomme de la chambre du roi (first gentleman of the king’s bedchamber) and was given a ducal title of his own, Duke of Villequier Aumont; he opposed the revolution, remained unswervingly loyal to Louis XVI, and eventually served in the court in exile of Louis XVIII. I will attempt to minimize that confusion by using either their full names or the ducal titles that they held and chiefly used in 1789 and early 1790, when Louis-Marie Guy d’Aumont was the Duke of Aumont and Louis-Alexandre-Céleste d’Aumont was the Duke of Villequier Aumont.

  Snorri’s wily King Har is definitely not senile, and not at all like simple-hearted unpretentious Adam, innocent or fallen, even if we imagine him grown old and querulous:  if Blake remembered the god/​king Har when he named the character in Tiriel, he must have forgotten what Har was like in the Edda. It is certainly possible that in imagining Har Blake dredged up an exotic name from somewhere in his consciousness and intended no literary or linguistic allusion at all.

  Schouten de Jel draws parallels between Michelangelo’s Tityus drawing and Blake’s depiction of Oothoon, especially on plate 6, claiming that “such a model transposed a ‘core artistic vocabulary’ which imbues Oothoon’s self-annihilation in Visions with eschatological signification” (95, quoting Edina Adam and Julian Brooks). In this very detailed and well-researched work, Schouten de Jel analyzes Oothoon’s spiritual transformation as an expression of divine love through self-annihilation.

A. Rosso’s The Religion of Empire: Political Theology in Blake’s Prophetic Symbolism (2016), the leading exponents of tracing antinomian ideologies in Blake. For the reader of William Blake and the Visionary Law, Moskal’s vivid analogy of 1988 may help to grasp the idea that Blake’s impulse toward antinomian radicalism was tempered by the necessity of having laws stable and flexible enough to protect the Human Form Divine.

  In other words, the battalion-like “companies” of charity children on the left-hand side of the line are juxtaposed to the angelic-like host on the right—​a positioning that recalls Christ’s seat at the right hand of God (1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56). unison is likened to a thunderous aural assault upon the celestial realm; the beadles who in the first stanza had “walkd before” their charges are now seated “beneath” the cherubic children in accordance with the synoptic Gospels: “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:16); and the ironic epithet “wise guardians” is a warning to the old beadles to exercise less of the guard and more of the guardian angel lest they find themselves driven from the “door” of heaven—​the door, moreover, that is eternally open to the “little children.”
