Book Reviews of Blake

Book Review: Good on Blake, down on style
Summary: 3 Stars

Ackroyd has a grand reputation as an auteur superbe, but in this book he finds himself to close to the subject to allow his normal objectivity to flow. Indeed, one might even say that Ackroyd is in love with Blake but at odds with his work
