Beskrivning
This book focuses attention on the longevity and complexity of Blake's reception in Japan and elsewhere in the East. This book offers a case-study of the way in which the vigorous afterlife of Blake's work has allowed active appropriation of an inspiring presence, rather than passive succumbing to a Eurocentric or Orientalist ideology.This volume brings together research from international scholars focusing attention on the longevity and complexity of Blake's reception in Japan and elsewhere in the East. It is designed as not only a celebration of his art and poetry in new and unexpected contexts but also to contest the intensely nationalistic and parochial Englishness of his work, and in broader terms, the inevitable passivity with which Romanticism (and other Western intellectual movements) have been received in the Orient.

Recensioner i media

"'This welcome collection of essays has multiple aims. Its introduction sets it squarely amid recent attempts not just to look at origins and contexts of Blake's output but also at the way it has been received and deployed in later times and places. Here those times and places are extremely diverse.' '...the essays on display here are varied and impressive...' Jon Mee, University of Warwick, for Romanticism and Victorianism on the Net"
