How was William Blake remembered and with what forms of knowledge was he associated by those thinkers, commentators, curators and practitioners concerned with the identity and development of British visual culture in the hundred years after his death? How did such cultural agents understand his idea of an artworld? 'Visions of Blake', the first full-length account of Blake's afterlife as a painter, designer and art writer, sets out to address these and related issues. The book is generously illustrated with 10 colour plates and 56 half-tones. In addition to analysing how Blake is remodelled by Ruskin, the Rossetti brothers, Swinburne, Symons, Yeats, Chesterton and Fry, it explains why Blake is recast by leading artists and designers throughout this period. This interdisciplinary book is intended for all students and academics interested in Blake, Romanticism, Victorian culture and modern art.
