Dear Paul and any other visitors to England,
If you are in England between June 22nd and September 6th you might like to
visit a small special display based on Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery's
collection of seven Blake watercolours, works by Fuseli, Stothard and The
Ancients. I am curating this exhibition as a way to highlight the strengths
of our collection in this period - we are much better known for Pre-
Raphaelites. The exhibition is called WILLIAM BLAKE AND HIS CIRCLE.
Associated events will include readings from Songs of Innocence and Experience
and a series of performances every Sunday in July in the gallery space by an
experimental youth theatre called Playbox Theatre. I have been itching to let
you all know but it didn't seem quite appropriate to the cut and thrust of
debate until Paul's request. The portrait of Blake usually in the NPG will be
on loan to us for the exhibition.

Thanks, Reyhan, I'll put Birmingham on the itinerary. Which reminds me,
does anybody have info on the Blake holdings at the Manchester Museum? My
understanding is that Blake's Heads of the Poets series from Hayley's
library is in Manchester. I'm particularly interested in the portrait of
Alexander Pope, which according to Maynard Mack is there, but I've been
unable to track down contact information for the Manchester Museum.
Thanks again to all. I'll post something like an itinerary once we get it
settled, in case anybody else might find it interesting.

I guess that gives a whole new meaning to being "baptized in the Spirit."
Sorry, but I just couldn't resist that one.

Paul, I visited Manchester in 1990, knowing they were supposed to have some
Blake holdings. I didn't think to call ahead to see if they were on
display, and when I got there, the person at the front desk didn't think
they were up. Disappointed, I decided to look around anyway, and
eventually found myself looking at a copy of the Europe frontispiece and
several other plates. I do have a phone number for the City Art Galleries:
0161-236 5244.
Good luck; I'll look forward to seeing you again at the NASSR/BARS meeting.

Manchester did do a little pamphlet on thea Heads of the Poets about ten or
fifteen years ago. I must confess that, tho' a Lancastrian by birth, I have
never actually visited the Gallery in Manchester!

Is anyone here familiar with the metaphysical and Jobian aspects of Blake's "Milton"? I am
interested in locating some constructive discourse to help me arrive at some hypotheses and
possible conclusions. Also, does anyone know the name of the author who wrote a dissertation on
the metaphysical aspects of "Milton" that was entitled, "Being Form'd"? I am unable to locate a
copy of it.

The book is Being Form'd: Thinking Through Blake's "Milton," by Mark
Bracher (Barrytown, NY: Station Hill, 1985).

I do have a book of this title, could be the same work:
Bracher, Mark. BEING FORM'D: THINKING THROUGH BLAKE'S _MILTON_. Barrytown,
NY: Clinamen Studies/Station Hill Press, 1985. xvi, 288 pp.
Haven't read it yet, but it looks damn fascinating.

Mark Bracher's _Being Form'd: Thinking Through Blake's Milton_, although
fairly repetitious, is indeed an excellent book for understanding Blake.
The cover blurbs feature Erdman, Ault, and Tannenbaum praising Bracher's
insights. Amazon.com reports that the book is out of print. You should
use interlibrary loan, I assume, if you want to read a copy. You
described it as a dissertation, but it was also published as a book.
I forget the publisher, but the cover was bright yellow; just ask for
a book with a bright yellow cover, and cross your fingers!

You're probably thinking of _Being Form'd: Thinking Through Blake's_
Milton, by Mark Bracher, Station Hill Press, 1985, ISBN 0882680129. It's
listed in Books In Print for $9.95.
