Publisher's Synopsis
With essays by Gerald E Bentley Jr, Robert N Essick, Shelley M Bennett, and Morton D Paley. A group of young artists, now known as 'The Blake Followers', gathered around William Blake in the last years of his life. Of the four essays in this collection, two deal broadly with biographical information concerning the Blake Followers and their relations with Blake; the other two focus on specific problems of technique and literary interpretation. Together they give an indication of the nature and range of this fascinating group of artists. The essays are based on papers given at a 1982 Huntington Library symposium.
