Browse Blake Online
- One never knows how an Internet mailing list will turn out when you
launch it. There are simply too many variables -- Will anyone sign up?
Post? Break up into a ball of flame? Will there be so much list traffic
that the mail server blows up? This summer, Albion's most popular service
has been Blake Online, a mailing list devoted to the life and work of 19th-century
poet William Blake. Launched into the academic vapors of the Internet in
November 1993, the Blake list has hundreds of subscribers from around the
world who discuss and debate everything from the meaning of the word "modern"
to the minutae of Blake's illuminated poems. Find out how
to subscribe or review the Blake
Online archives.
