A Study of the Illuminated Books of William Blake (1964) by Sir Geoffrey Keynes is a seminal scholarly work on Blake’s revolutionary fusion of poetry and visual art. Keynes—a preeminent Blake scholar and brother of economist John Maynard Keynes—meticulously examines Blake’s hand-printed illuminated manuscripts, including Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, and Jerusalem. The book delves into Blake’s mythopoeic symbolism, etching techniques, and radical theology, featuring high-quality reproductions of his watercolor pages alongside Keynes’s erudite commentary.
