In 1809 the little-known artist William Blake held an exhibition of 16 paintings in a private house in Soho in the west end of London. Works inspired by Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and John Milton's "Paradise Lost" sat alongside biblical scenes and Arthurian legend. The exhibition was not a success; the only review in the press was extremely unfavourable and few of the public came. One of those who did was the poet Charles Lamb, who later described the pictures as 'hard, dry, yet with grace', and the catalogue that accompanied the show as 'mystical and full of vision'. It is this catalogue that Tate Publishing are once again making available. In it, the scale and range of Blake's ambition are made plain, along with his theories on painting, his unsparing critiques of other artists and some extraordinary insights into the working of his mind. The only detailed writing on art that remains to us by Blake, it throws light on all his subsequent artistic enterprises, including the illuminated books for which he is perhaps most famous. Part commentary and part manifesto, his catalogue is as radical as it is in places eccentric (he claims at one point to have been transported in a "vision" back to the classical world). Fully illustrated in colour with reproductions of surviving works originally in the exhibition, the book includes an illuminating essay by leading authority on British art Martin Myrone, Lead Curator of Pre-1800 Art at Tate Britain, making it an essential purchase for all of those wanting to know more.

Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of Historical Novels and Tales: For the Use of School Libraries and Teachers of History MY object, in drawing up the following list of Historical Novels, has been two-fold. In the first place, I hope that it may serve as a useful catalogue for those who have the charge of School Libraries. In the second place, I have tried to provide what seems to me a valuable aid to the School Teacher of History. I am sure - I speak from experience - that he or She will find the History-work of the school considerably freshened and enlivened, if, when treating any period, care be taken that the pupils shall know what are the best novels which relate to that period, and be encouraged to read them. The little harm which the fancy and invention of the writer may do will be amply compensated for by the ektra brightness of interest which is sure to be gained. Moreover, to paraphrase the words of Jean Paul, it is not the intention of so Sportive an instruction as this to absolve the pupil from the necessity for real exertion; but rather it is hoped that thereby a passion may be awakened in him, which shall not only facilitate, but Shall even necessitate, the strongest exertion on his part. It has not been always easy to decide whether a book shall be admitted as an Historical Novel or not. There is an immense variety of tales and romances, ranging from mere sketches of domestic life at certain periods, such as Miss Austen's works.
