First paperback edition 2003. xix+302 pages. Illustrated. Paperback. Near fine. Poet, painter, and engraver William Blake died in 1827 in obscure poverty with few admirers. The attention paid today to his remarkable poems, prints, and paintings would have astonished his contemporaries. Admired for his defiant, uncompromising creativity, he has become one of the most anthologized and studied writers in English and one of the most studied and collected British artists. His urge to cast words and images into masterpieces of revelation has left us with complex, forceful, extravagant, some times bizarre works of written and visual art that rank among the greatest challenges to plain understanding ever created. This Companion aims to provide guidance to Blake's work in fresh and readable introductions: biographical, literary, art historical, political, religious, and bibliographical. Together with a chronology, guides to further reading, and glossary of terms, they identify the key points of departure into Blake's multifarious world and work.

Paraphrased from the University of Rochester: The Blake Quarterly began as the Blake Newsletter with Morton Paley as Editor in June of 1967, and era during which William Blake had emerged as a hero of metaphysical poetry, art, and philosophy. In 1977 publication was moved from its origin at the University of California Berkeley Department of English to the University of New Mexico. These volumes were printed on the University of New Mexico's linotype machines which were abandoned in 1982-83 for computer typesetting. Issues contain many illustrated notes, essays, discussions and reviews, and accounts of recent research and sales. "[The] long-anticipated arguments mentioned in the first issue, about the dating and sequence of the two Nights the Seventh of The Four Zoas, resurfaced in.special issue [Vol.12,No.2] Fall 1978. Paley?s fundamental essay on Blake and Swedenborg appeared in [Vol.13,No.2] Fall 1979." Both are included here.
