Excellent- More about William Blake's Gothic Imagination: Bodies of Horror
William Blake's gothic imagination explores the intersection of literature, history, and the supernatural, focusing on the anxieties and horror associated with reproduction, anatomy, sexuality, and materiality. This collection of papers aims to provide a deeper understanding of Blakes work in the Gothic genre.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 312 pages
Publication date: 20 September 2022
Publisher: Manchester University Press
Scholars of the Gothic have long acknowledged William Blakes affinity with the genre. However, to date, no significant scholarly study has focused on Blakes intersection with the Gothic. This collection seeks to redress this gap. The papers presented here do not merely identify Blakes Gothic conventions but, thanks to recent scholarship on affect, psychology, and embodiment in Gothic studies, delve deeper into the tissue of anxieties that take confused form through this notoriously nebulous historical, aesthetic, and narrative mode.
The collection opens with papers touching on literary form, history, lineation, and narrative in Blakes work, establishing contact with major topics in Gothic studies. It then refines its focus to Blakes bloody, nervous bodies, through which he explores various kinds of Gothic horror related to reproduction, anatomy, sexuality, affect, and materiality. Rather than transcendent images, this collection attends to Blakes dark visions of torment.
