Description

This scholarly examination of William Blake's engraved copper plates presents a groundbreaking reassessment of the artist's creative methodology. Sung's meticulous analysis reveals that Blake engaged in far more revision and correction than previously documented, challenging long-held Romantic assumptions about the instantaneous nature of artistic conception and execution. By studying Blake's actual engraving plates, the book uncovers evidence of deliberate refinement and iterative improvement, demonstrating that Blake's working process was more methodical and considered than the mythologized accounts suggest. Essential reading for Blake scholars, art historians, and anyone interested in understanding the technical and conceptual dimensions of 18th and 19th century printmaking.

Published by Routledge as part of The History of the Book series, offering scholarly authority on printmaking history.
