- Summary:
- Colebrook (English, Penn State U.), drawing on Gilles Deleuze's "reversed Platonism," argues that William Blake's poetry and illuminated prints are a contestation of digital sensibility and explores this through the concept of incarnation. She sees Blake as both breaking down systems and redeeming the formative powers that humans possess. She considers his work as concerned with a reversal of Plato's subordination of contingent appears to eternal forms, and shows how Blake presents forms and sense as immanent rather than anterior to sensation. Blake is able to accomplish this, she claims, because his work is performative and uncovers an analogical language. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
