BLAKE SEMINAR, MLA CHICAGO 1971
The 1971 Blake Seminar, a gathering of about twenty dedicated travelers, met on 28 December at the Newberry Library in Chicago. Morris Eaves (University of New Mexico) led a discussion of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. As the announcement of the Seminar had warned, the discussion roamed freely from text to illustration to text with little guidance other than literary free-association, though it showed a tendency to focus repeatedly on plates 4 and 10 and the plates most closely related to them in The Marriage.
