Reviews
They offer the most informed and informative tour of Blake in the digital age that I have read...I found this study absorbing, informative, and emblematic of how thoughtful teachers and scholars are engaging twenty-first century students and colleagues in the ongoing conversation about the eternally-fresh William Blake. --Mark Greenberg, Drexel University, Review 19 In this study, Roger Whitson and Jason Whittaker do an excellent job of describing Blake in popular culture (Whittaker's forte) and in social media: Twitter, Flickr, Wikipedia, and YouTube (Whitson's)...Excellent concerning the relationship of Blake to popular culture and digital media studies, this book calls for discussion because it purports more largely to bring a message from Digital Humanities (DH) to traditional disciplines of English literature and history. The book...does an extraordinary job of exploring the popularity of Blake on the Internet as well as the uses of social media to 'customize' his work. -Laura Mandell, Texas A&M University, Studies in Romanticism
