This book investigates these masterworks, explaining Blake's technique--one he essentially reinvented, unaware of 17th-century precursors--to show that these works were produced as paintings, and played a crucial role in Blake's development as a painter. Using material and historical analyses, Joseph Viscomi argues that the monoprints were created as autonomous paintings rather than as illustrations for Blake's books with an intended viewing order. Enlivened with bountiful illustrations, the text approaches the works within the context of their time, not divorced from ideas expressed in Blake's writings but not illustrative of or determined by those writings.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Joseph Viscomi</b> is James G. Kenan Distinguished Professor of English Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.</p>
