Blake provokes passionate responses and this rich compendium showcases those of thirty very different women writers. Some are literary celebrities, like Germaine Greer (who casts her critical eye over the intimacies of Blake's marriage) and Tracy Chevalier (whose novelistic brilliance illuminates the hidden lives of his London neighbours). Some are venerable scholars who reflect on their lifelong, and often stormy, engagement with the artist. Some consider the lives and writings of his female contemporaries, thereby opening a fruitful new file in Blake Studies. Whilst others offer striking perspectives from far beyond that critical enclave. But whether the interest is political or historical, spiritual or sexual, verbal or visual, autobiographical or archival all these articles present fresh and fascinating ways to approach this provocative genius. They also range across Blake's work, from the precocious Poetical Sketches to his great summation, Jerusalem. Much time is spent, too, on the most frequently read works of his middle years. The lifeblood of this collection is diversity, of both form and content, and the concision and range of contributions making this volume especially appealing to non-specialists. It is, though, also a major intervention in the ongoing Blake debate, which restores an often neglected, but vital and vibrant, tradition of female scholarship.
