Review

“This lucidly written book is a welcome contribution to the dialogue about Blake and language. Jones’ insightful close readings are doubly enriched by eighteenth-century discourses and by a Bakhtinian vision of the effects of language on consciousness and relationships. Blake on Language, Power, and Self-Annihilation moves through Blake’s oeuvre to explore the interrelated themes of monologism, dialogism, selfhood, and imposition, and culminates in a particularly fine reading of Jerusalem. Bringing Blake’s representations of inspiration, authorship, and the role of the reader into relation with his concept of self-annihilation, this study advances our understanding of the potencies and potentialities of language in Blake’s work.”—Angela Esterhammer, University of Zurich

“This crucial book sheds new light on Blake's complex concepts of authorship, inspiration, and what the poet repeatedly refers to as ‘Self-Annihilation.’ It also stands out as one of the few studies to apply recent theories concerning Blake's artistic and production methods. The result is a series of superb readings that illuminate the evolution of Blake's oeuvre, from the Songs to Jerusalem.”--Michael Macovski, Georgetown University
