Milton and the Cottage

In our continuing series on how William Blake subverts the Frontispiece, constructing and deconstructing the conventions of publishing, we look at one of the most radical examples, the frontispiece to Milton and its connection to the Cottage in Felpham.

The epic Milton was created during the Blakes’ stay in Felpham (1800-1803) and we will also talk about the importance of their time in the Cottage to the development of Blake’s work and the future for the Cottage.
