A Blake Dictionary: The Ideas and Symbols of WIlliam Blake.
Damon, S. Foster. Shambhala, 1979. Softbound. 'Damon's Dictionary,' writes Morris Eaves in support of his index appended to this edition, 'is an unusual combination of mechanical orderliness and unmechanical inconsistency . . . a very personal account of his understanding of Blake arranged impersonally.' And in a contemporary review of the newly indexed edition, John E. Grant details that personality by asserting, 'Gossip used to represent Damon as a mystagogue, but nobody who conversed with him thought of him as a crank.'
