About Me
my c.v. is in thefourzoas.com. a retired assoc prof/SL I (depending on where you live), i changed fields to philosophy of religion. on my retirement, i 'returned' to blake. i found the field of blake's plots/stories/myth set in critical concrete. for me, there are meticulously crafted plots in Blake's epics, i'd shown this in a doctorate years ago. so i decided to use the net to publish two comprehensive critical studies, to prove blake's 'craftsmanship' beyond reasonable common sense doubt. in turn, each is the first i know of in the field of Blake's plots. extraordinarily, no Blake scholar, from ault 1986 to now, seemed to have looked up completed doctorates on Blake's The Four Zoas in the Ottawa library, and my 1984 study, in fact the first full-scale study, was unread. the study of Jerusalem is twenty years later, 2005). Thus, each in turn is the first (and, respectively) the only line-by-line analysis that connects its parts to its whole so that each epic in turn can be grasped clearly as an magnificent aesthetic whole. In context both are entirely fresh to the field. They make sense of Blake's plot.
