Blake, Apocalypse, and the Illustrated Page

William Blake makes interpretation difficult in the most productive way: text and image keep refusing to become separate departments.

In Angel of the Revelation, the body is not an illustration added after doctrine. It is part of the argument, giving scale and movement to prophetic language.

The result is a page that demands literary and visual reading at the same time.
