William Blake’s Comic Vision Hardback
by N. Rawlinson
Hardback
Description
Blake's comic brilliance has been variously dismissed as the nervous ramblings of a neglected genius, the tomfool doodles of a distracted youngster, or a crude tool for destabilizing textual authority.
But, for the eighteenth century, comedy played a pivotal role in debates on aesthetics, education, spirituality and morality.
This exciting new study blends a close reading of Blake's early work with fascinating historical research to demonstrate that the comic was an essential component of Blake's artistic Vision.
