Shakespear's Heir

THE WILLIAM BLAKE PRESS CAMBRIDGE

The book is freshly titled and is the proof/PDF sent.

Title:

SHAKESPEARES' S HEIR: BLAKE'S DOORS OF PERCEPTION IN THE FOUR ZOAS AND JERUSALEM. 267 PAGES.

It should be available from Amazon in a few weeks now.

There's a clear description of the hyper/text/novel from i adopted to experiment with the richness within Blake...Albion is like a body, and the story of the energies within is the story of the epics...the line-by-line methodology links every line to every other...so it's 'virtually......' for the nitpickers...

De Luca described Jerusalem as a 'wall of words'...that should be dissipated, eased out of perceptual striations in a movement from any passage to any other....Blake's phrasing... his poetry surfaces out of our earlier failed perceptions...

Blake's grammar is discussed...there's work to do here in the publication of the transcription i did for Jerusalem Explained...

and i'm going to call the book on the zoas its original thesis title...Structure as a Key to Meaning in William Blake's the Four Zoas...its long, but it's the right title.
