Review

`Review from previous edition superbly lucid and learned account of Blake's late works' Seamus Perry, Times Literary Supplement

`iThe Traveller in the Evening/i extends Morton Paley's distinguished career of scholarship on Blake's art and thought . . . displays an encyclopedic knowledge of Blake's art and life as well as an immense erudition about the art world of the time, various strands of apocalytic religious thought, and the social and cultural milieu of London.'' Stephen L. Carr, Studies in Romanticism

`It is gratifying to encounter such solid and pioneering scholarly detail in so readable a form, helped not least by Paley's admirable clarity and quirky humour. . . . an oustanding contribution to our understanding of these neglected later works, providing authoritative scholarship of importance for anyone working on the period.' Angus Whitehead, The Cambridge Quarterly

`Very few scholars other than Morton D. Paley would be capable of executing a project as complex as this, that is, one requiring simultaneously an intimate familiarity with both the literary and artistic traditions as they culminated in iJerusalem/i, and the intellectual facility to prevent the composite books from impinging upon an analysis devoted to the last works. Paley is able to view each of these texts individually in its own right and all collectively in order to illuminate the dimensions of Blake's creativity in his last decade.' Sheila A. Spector, The Wordsworth Circle
