| Research Abstract |
This project was designed to examine the meaning of blood in William Blake’s illuminated poems against the backdrop of the medical and sexual discourses which were prominent in 18th-century England. It was successful in clarifying what can be called “sexual blood” which had remained unexamined since the dawn of Blake studies.
