Description
About the Book
This book explores widespread influence of Blake on twentieth-century writers from Yeats and Joyce to Angela Carter and Salman Rushdie.Book Synopsis
William Blake is one of the most important influences on twentieth-century literature. This study will ask why he is a figure central to the Modernist re-definition of past art. He also appears to be an acceptable sage for postmodernists, he can be associated with an opposition to authority without imposing one version of his own mythology.Review Quotes
'this first full-length study of Blake's influence on twentieth-century literature is fascinating in it's range of reference.' - The Use of English
'...the most consistent and comprehensive text yet on Blake's literary influence.' - Jason Whittaker, Review of English Studies
