Blake's Agitation: Criticism and the Emotions


Listen Later

This Book explores the complex interplay between emotion and critical judgment in the works of William Blake and within the broader context of Romanticism. It examines how intense, often anonymous emotions served as a catalyst for both creative expression and critical engagement, challenging Enlightenment ideals of reason and objectivity. The analysis considers the social and political implications of these emotional responses, exploring how they shaped Blake's work and influenced contemporary critical theory. The author investigates the relationship between individual affective resistance and the social order, examining how seemingly private emotions become public interventions. Finally, the text also analyzes the role of emotion in reading and interpreting literature, highlighting its potential for both innovation and manipulation.
