This seminar responds to two givens: first, that Blake created multi-media art which reflects and comments on his involvement in the leading technologies of mechanical reproduction of his age; and second, not-unrelated, that there exist today impressive digital resources for the study of Blake, particulary the still emerging "Blake Archive" of his illuminated work and the electronic edition of his complete writings. We will meet in the new Park Hall etext center both to draw upon such resources for a consideration of Blake's work, life, and times, and to study how we might engage and use these now tools of "intellectual War" (The Four Zoas 139.9). The course assumes a modicum of computer experience from the prospective student (e.g. use of a mouse).’ ’
