Challenging the idea that a writers work reflects his experiences in time and place, Andrew M. Cooper locates the action of William Blakes major illuminated books in the ahistorical present, an impersonal spirit realm beyond the threedimensional self. Blake, Cooper shows, was a formalist who exploited eighteenthcentury scientific and philosophical research on vision, sense, and mind for spiritual purposes. Through irony, dialogism, twoway syntax, and synesthesia, Blake extended and refined the prophetic method Milton forged in Paradise Lost to bring the performativity of traditional oral song and storytelling into print. Cooper argues that historicist attempts to place Blakes vision in perspective, as opposed to seeing it for oneself, involve a deeply selfcontradictory denial of his performativity as a poetartist. Rather, Blakes expansion of linear reading into a space of creative, selfconscious collaboration laid the basis for his lifelong critique of dualism in religion and science, and anticipated the nonEuclidean geometrics of twentiethcentury Modernism.
