Double-weighted statement
94,000 words long, this book generates a complex and wide-ranging thesis about William Blake’s commercial and sociable practices, and religious and political writings and art, drawing together diverse discourses (economics, patronage, charity, inspiration, salvation) under a common rubric of ‘gift-giving’. It is fully interdisciplinary in method and based on enquiries undertaken over a number of years in the fields of literature, history, anthropology, theology, and philosophy.
