Blake, Sexuality and Bourgeois Politeness

In addition to a mastery of the whole of Blake’s notoriously difficult visual and verbal work and its associated body of critical and theoretical debate, this study is built on a deep knowledge of contexts provided by Blake’s contemporaries including Fuseli, Cumberland, Flaxman, Cowper, Hayley, Malkin, Hannah More, Wollstonecraft, each of whom brought with them an associated body of critical work. It required extensive primary verbal and visual research to uncover new historical, theoretical and aesthetic contexts in addition to theoretical and critical work.
