 Kevin Hutchings, On Christopher Z. Hobson's _Blake and Homosexuality_ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic Circles
Hobson's consideration of Blake's work is at all times intellectually rigorous, deploying a well-balanced dialectical logic to support complex thesis arguments which are carefully and clearly delineated.
Thus, in his Conclusion, Hobson responds to critical assessments articulated by Anne K. Mellor and Richard E. Matlak, whose introductory comments on Blake in their recent anthology British Literature 1780–1830 depict Blake as a writer whose philosophy of gender was ultimately in league with the sexist discourses of his day.
This omission is regrettable simply because Hobson's work is every bit as astute as the work of these prominent thinkers, and one gets the feeling that by engaging at least briefly with their insights Hobson's book would take on added critical relevance and importance.
