Abstract

Date: 11 February 2001. Place: Tate Britain. Event: the last day of the largest William Blake exhibition ever mounted. The scene inside: making our way through the milling throngs of sudden Blake enthusiasts, the newly renamed Tate Britain had not appeared so full for years. One almost, for a moment, had the impression of being inside the immensely popular Tate Modern. As we walked through, we could feel the rising buzz of excitement and expectation. If the Tate Britain organisers had been A&R men for a record company, or distributors promoting a new film, this star’s signing would have exceeded their wildest expectations.
