Today Blake scholarship is experiencing a period of unprecedented variety and mutuality. These essays reflect the methodological cross-fertilisations now taking place in Blake scholarship and explore the range of debates and contentions generated by these encounters, embracing figurative, structural, and material readings of Blake's life and works.

'The illuminating vision of Re-envisioning Blake brings vivid focus to 'minute particulars' of his visual and verbal works, and his spiritual and personal lives. It also expands to reconsider the broader histories surrounding Blake and the reverberations of his thought in art and in politics. This collection represents the eclectic state of Blake studies now, and meditates on the contentions and reinventions involved in tracing the past and interpreting it for the future.' - Tristanne Connolly, Associate Professor of English, St. Jerome's University in the University of Waterloo, Canada
