Abstract
abstract:
In this essay, Anthony Apesos discusses two of the illuminations in William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: an interlinear scene on plate 5 and a half-page illustration on plate 10. He argues that these depict episodes of dictation, referring to Milton and his dutiful amanuenses. They point to Blake’s later treatment of Milton in the poem named for him.
