Reflecting the multifarious nature of its subject, Blake scholarship has witnessed an unprecedented variety of methodological approaches, informed and facilitated by innovations in literary studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and beyond. This collection reflects the diverse nature of these approaches, presenting essays that seek to relate Blake's art, life, and writings to topics that build on and/or introduce emerging discussions and directions within Blake scholarship. This volume presents a cohesive yet eclectic collection of essays that explore a wide range of 'Minute Particulars' in Blake's life and work, from his illuminated books and paintings, to his radicalism, politics, patronage, aesthetics, religion, environmentalism, and posthumous influence. The primary aim of this collection is to stage a sequence of provocative readings about Blake that not only incorporate contingent accounts of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century culture, but also provide a synthesis of new methodological approaches that gesture toward new directions in Blake criticism in the 21st Century.
