William Blake and the Body PDF
by T. Connolly
- Information
Description
William Blake and the Body re-evaluates Blake's central image: the human form.
In Blake's designs, transparent-skinned bodies passionately contort; in his verse, metamorphic bodies burst from each other in gory, gender-bending births.
The culmination is an ideal body uniting form and freedom.
Connolly explores romantic-era contexts like anatomical art, embryology, miscarriage and twentieth-century theorists like those of Kristeva, Douglas, Girard to provide an innovative new analysis of Blake's transformations of body and identity.
