checklist
begin page 76 | ↑ back to topBlake and His Circle: A Checklist of Recent Publications
Because of various technical and organizational difficulties, no annual checklist of recent scholarship was published in the 1985 volume of Blake. The present compilation therefore tries to catch up with what has happened since Thomas L. Minnick and I handed in the 1984 list (see Blake 18 [1984]: 100-15); it covers the period from summer 1984 to—roughly—early summer 1986, with some additional pre-1984 items interspersed which previously had escaped our attention. If, therefore, the 1986 edition of the checklist is much bulkier than earlier ones, this is the most important and obvious reason. But there are some others, too.
It needs no stressing, I suppose, that a periodical checklist like this may well reach for but never will attain completeness, and this is especially so if such a list is concerned with English art and literature, but compiled at various museum and university libraries in Germany. However, there are at least two distinct features of Blake’s checklists which, I believe, guarantee their usefulness to its readers. One is the actuality of this report on recent developments in Blake studies and its neighboring fields (particularly when we resume publication on an annual basis). The other is the reviews section. This part of the checklist—despite its being very likely the least complete—gives access to a field of publication where one can often meet with observations as pertinent and innovative as those of the scholarly books and articles listed in the other sections. Since no other bibliography attempts to give a full account of the review literature in Blake studies, I have devoted more time and care to this than to any other class of publications—well knowing that all too many lacunae will remain.
A few more words concerning the organization, entry format, and coverage of the present checklist may prove useful. In general, I have retained the format of four main sections with a number of subdivisions which has been known to the readers of this journal since 1980. Coverage in parts II and III, however, has always been—and probably to a certain extent will remain—problematic. Are Mary Wollstonecraft and Angelica Kauffmann or Thomas Paine and William Godwin to be considered members of Blake’s circle?—and has not the Related Interest section always looked a little haphazard in scope, either too inclusive or exclusive in its coverage?
Let me recite a few of the criteria for selection, annotation, and bibliographical style that I have followed while compiling the present list.
(1) Blake’s circle has been drawn slightly smaller than in previous years, thus excluding, for example, Edward Young and Robert Blair (whose works were illustrated by the artist, just as those of Dante and Milton or the Bible, but whom he did not know personally), while retaining entries for such figures as Cowper or Erasmus Darwin (contemporaries at least, whose inclusion is nevertheless open to discussion, I think).
(2) Part III is the only section of the checklist which—by necessity—is selective rather than extensive in its coverage. Its contents have been assembled (and subdivided) according to the following few guidelines. First there are entries for some general studies of British Romantic poetry and art which either mention Blake’s works in a larger context and/or are thought to have some bearing on the interpretation of these works, and/or have been reviewed in the pages of this journal. Then, I have included here a selection of books and articles on what might be termed Blake’s “outer circle,” i.e., some contemporary authors and artists who may have been influential for his productions here or there, and who are not covered in any other subject bibliography that is known to me. Since the history of Blake scholarship—during the next decade or so—is bound to become a major field of study in itself, part III also includes entries for biographical and critical assessments of some influential Blake scholars and collectors (and even lists the printing of two of Foster Damon’s poems). Reports on poetical, theatrical, or film adaptations of Blake’s works, as well as statements concerning their influence on modern contemporary art and literature, make up the final section of part III. I have decided, however, to omit adaptations of Blake’s poems by recording artists such as Marianne Faithfull, who quotes from “The Tyger” in her “Eye Communication,” or Sting, who refers begin page 77 | ↑ back to top to the “dark satanic mills” in his “We Work the Black Seam.”
(3) Brief annotations have been provided for at least those book-length studies which to my knowledge have not hitherto been the subject of extensive reviews, and to a number of articles the titles of which I thought were not fully self-explanatory. These annotations follow the bibliographical information in square brackets. Prices have been quoted where available.
(4) I have agreed with the editors to adopt (with very few exceptions) for the formal presentation of the bibliographical data the rules and regulations laid down by Walter S. Achtert and Joseph Gibaldi in The MLA Style Manual (New York, NY: Modern Language Association of America, 1985). This explains the punctuation of the entries, which differs slightly from our earlier lists, and explains the use of certain standard abbreviations such as “U” for “University,” or “P” for “Press.” The items in each section are arranged in strict alphabetical order by name of author and title. At least in the reviews section of earlier editions of this checklist I often attempted a chronological sequence where the same book had been reviewed more than once; now, these entries have been alphabetized by the reviewers’ names and, for easy reference, have also been numbered review by review.
From the foregoing it should be fairly evident that something can be done (and maybe even has to be done) about the organization and the scope of parts II and III in the future. I shall be grateful for any suggestions made by those who work with these checklists.
Finally, it gives me great pleasure to record my indebtedness[e] to those friends and colleagues who have shared some bibliographical information with me or have kindly sent offprints from their articles (which is always very helpful): Rodney M. Baine, Stephen C. Behrendt, G. E. Bentley, Jr., Martin Butlin, Claudia Corti, Morris Eaves, Helen B. Ellis, Robert N. Essick, Michael Fischer, David S. Fuller, Marilyn Gaull and Maurizio Giammarco, Mark L. Greenberg, Jean H. Hagstrum, Nelson Hilton, Terence A. Hoagwood, Traude Kannengiesser, Donald Masterson, Horst Meller, Edward O’Shea, Morton D. Paley, François Piquet, Kathleen Raine, Aquilino Sánchez Pérez, Wilhelm Schlink, and Joseph S. Viscomi. The Darwin section would not be half so well informed without the expert knowledge of Desmond King-Hele. Also, I wish to thank all those publishing houses, museums, and journal editors in Britain, Italy, Japan, and the United States who have kindly supplied me with inspection copies and have thus contributed largely to the accuracy and completeness of the present list. Any omissions that remain, will, of course, if brought to my attention, duly be recorded in next year’s compilation.
Note: An asterisk beside an entry on the list identifies an item that I have not examined.

Blake . . . shared Milton’s interest in the concept of incarnation. Both poets uphold the Protestant assertion which entitles each individual to private judgment in matters of conscience. This individualism leads Milton and Blake to unique perceptions of the myths which underlie Paradise Lost and Jerusalem—the myth of Genesis, the fall and redemption of the Sophia, several mystic marriages, including that of Eros and Psyche. . . .

In the fourth chapter, the self-portraits of Barry and Fuseli are examined as examples of the ambivalence created by the clash between the ideal of the learned painter and the growing strength of the concept of original genius. Finally, Blake’s total rejection of the premises upon which the ideal of the learned painter rested is seen as heralding the decline of the influence of the notion of the learned painter in eighteenth-century England.”]
