Blake, Nation and Empire

Beschreibung

This book examines Blake's work in the context of discourses of nation and empire, of the construction of a public sphere, and restores the longevity to his artistic career by placing emphasis on his work in the 1820s. Relevant contexts include technology, sentimentalism, Ireland and Catholic Emancipation, missionary prospectuses and body politics.

Rezensionen

'Worrall and Clark's previous collections played a key role in the historicist revolution in Blake studies, and the current book is no exception. The focus on nationalism and imperialism sketches in an under-represented portion of the historical picture for Blake. The list of contributors is exceptionally strong, with an even greater variety of approaches than in the earlier volumes.' - Nicholas M. Williams, Indiana University, USA
