William Blake and the Daughters of Albion offers a challenge to the Blake establishment. By placing some of Blake's early prophetic works in startlingly new historical contexts (most provocatively those of female conduct, pornography and the sexual narratives of the revolution debate) a very different image of the radical Blake emerges. Neglected historical figures are also given their rightful place in the feminist controversies of the period. Helen Bruder shows what can be achieved when a challenging methodology, feminist historicism, is brought to bear on a canonical writer and, in the process, reveals a great deal about the prejudices of influential Blake critics. A detailed survey of Blake studies over the past twenty years is included. An agenda for research in the next millennium is also offered.
Industry Reviews

'Provocative, readable, significant.' - British Association for Romantic Studies Bulletin & Review

'Helen Bruder's provocative, readable, significant book is an enlivening feminist-historicist study of Blake's early illuminated texts from 1789-1794 (leaving aside the Songs), and presents itself as a 'recontextualisation' of these works in the light of the failure of mainstream Blake criticism to acknowledge the ways in which Blake's writings are enmeshed in the sexual and gendered debates of his day.' - British Association for Romantic Studies Bulletin and Review
