Double-weighted statement
Visions of Blake should be double-weighted for the following reasons. It is the first book to tackle the complex problem of outlining how Blake attained classic status. This involved analysing a vast range of sources (both positive and hostile) over a hundred-year period: monographs, exhibitions, exhibition catalogues, exhibition reviews, life-writing, critical and cultural essays, book reviews and notices, and unpublished manuscripts and archival papers. The analysis explains how and why these materials attracted the attention of leading painters, designers and illustrators. The book is 280,000 words (520 pages) and contains 785 footnotes spread over 70 pages.
