Blake and Conflict

Beschreibung

Famously, Blake believed that 'without contraries' there could be no 'progression'. Conflict was integral to his artistic vision, and his style, but it had more to do with critical engagement than any urge to victory. The essays in this volume look at conflict as it marked Blake's thinking on politics, religion and the visual arts.

Rezensionen

'...Blake and Conflict illuminates hosts of both expected and unexpected tussles, and while some ruffians will have hoped for a splash more blood on the carpet, its charming editors won't at all mind that objection' - British Association for Romantic Studies

'...one essay can't do everything, and this one does a great deal both to extend knowledge of Blake's intellectual and historical contexts and in the polemical essays, to sustain an ongoing debate over his complicity with or defiance of ideologies of oppression.' - Blake/ An Illustrated Quarterly

'Mee and Haggarty have provided a substantial addition to Palgrave Macmillan's impressive and ongoing Blake list...' -European Romantic Review
