About this book

Exploring the work of William Blake within the context of Methodism – the largest 'dissenting' religious group during his lifetime – this book contributes to ongoing critical debates surrounding Blake's religious affinities by suggesting that, contrary to previous thinking, Blake held sympathies with certain aspects of Methodism.

Reviews

“This book’s careful survey of Wesley’s engagement with religious writings that Blake himself engaged with will make it a useful resource for all those with an interest in Blake’s religious thought. … a book that every university library should have.” (Andrew Lincoln, Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly, Vol. 50 (2), 2016)
