“There is never likely to be a work on Blake which will supersede that just, eloquent, generous, and illuminating ‘critical’ essay which Mr. Swinburne wrote forty years ago and has only now reprinted. It is a book marvellous for sanity and insight; it was a defence of Blake at a time when he needed to be defended, and it repeats his praise now, when the praise is no longer startling.” Arthur Symons.
