Description
The visionary poet and artist William Blake is one of the most vivid figures in British Romantic literature. With chapters written by leading international scholars, The Reception of William Blake in Europe is the first comprehensive and systematic reference guide to Blake's influence across Europe. Exploring Blake's impact on literature, art, music and culture, the book includes bibliographies of major translations of Blake's work in each country covered, as well as a publication history and timeline of the poet's reception on the continent.
Reviews / Votes
For any scholar interested in a comparative approach to Blake or in following in his cosmopolitan footsteps, this is an invaluable collection. It is a welcome addition to Blake scholarship and reception studies more broadly. * European Romantic Review * The Reception of William Blake in Europe performs an important task in expanding Blake's afterlife to better encompass its true reach and complexity, and in doing so, opens foundations for new research that will surely be built upon in many years to come. * Romantik * The contributors to the two volumes must be complimented on the remarkable breadth and depth of their scholarship in outlining the distinctive tendencies in the reception history of [Blake's] work in their respective countries. * VTU Review * It should be apparent that the Reception of William Blake in Europe is a monumental work of scholarship, and willbe a vital reference book not only for Blake scholars but also for comparatists working in many fields of European literature. * Recherche Litteraire/Literary Research *
