William Blake and the Impossible History of the 1790s
ISBN: 9780226502601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Modern scholars often find it difficult to account for the profound eccentricities in the work of William Blake, dismissing them as either ahistorical or simply meaningless. But with this pioneering study, Saree Makdisi develops a reliable and comprehensive framework for understanding these peculiarities. According to Makdisi, Blake's poetry and drawings should compel us to seriously reconsider ths history of the 1790s - the turbulent and revolutionary decade in which they first emerged.
