What is William Blake and the Art of Engraving (The History of the Book) about?

Sung closely examines William Blake’s extant engraved copper plates and arrives at a new interpretation of his working process. Sung suggests that Blake revised and corrected his work more than was previously thought. This belies the Romantic ideal that the acts of conception and execution are simultaneous in the creative process. ** Review 'this is a painstaking study that enlightens both the technical and literary understanding of Blake's works.' Times Literary Supplement 'an incredibly detailed, highly technical and scholarly work, one that contributes greatly to our understanding of Blake's techniques ... Sung demonstrates remarkable and comprehensive attention to the minute particulars of his craft that allows her to challenge easy assumptions about the theory of his creative practice.'
