Reviews

‘Blake in Our Time is a magnificent tribute to G. E. Bentley, Jr.-one of the titans in Blake studies of the last, as well as current, century-whose work has “shifted the focus of Blake criticism from formalism and symbolism to the ‘Minute Particulars’ of Blake’s life and work,”’ - Joseph Wittreich (Blake: An Illustrated Quarterly vol 46:03:2012-13)
