Topics covered include Blake and Gender Studies, Blake and Radical History, Blake and Queer Studies and Blake and Postmodernism.

'Blake beginners will appreciate the lucid tours of landmark criticism and mapping of major debates, while seasoned Blakeans will discover gems in both the painstaking reviews of scholarship and the individual perspectives of a range of well-selected scholars. The collection is uniquely forward-looking, as it does not stop at projecting future vectors of Blake studies, but goes beyond period and discipline to assert Blake's presence in politics, science, theory and literature from the nineteenth through the twenty-first-century.' - Tristanne J. Connolly, St. Jerome's University, Canada
