And since he adheres to the basic Frye postulate of using Blake's entire canon in his analysis, the synoptic prose description of A Vision of the Last Judgment is one of his primary texts. Vision or Imagination is a Representation of what Eternally Exists. Blake and Spenser is a subtle and highly unified example of contextual criticism at its best. True to the value of the New Critical enterprise, however, Gleckner's anti-system rhetoric does not negate the often brilliant readings in the book. And he certainly breaks new ground in his treatment of the Spenser painting, combining a thorough understanding of Blake's poetry with a sure grasp of the mechanics of his art." Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Cream cloth with gilt lettering to spine..
