Jane Austen Information Page

Blake Multimedia Project
Blake himself was a multimedia artist whose work combined verbal and visual expression with technological innovation. Blake's work is difficult to access because accurate color reproductions of the hundreds of illuminated plates he printed are rare and expensive and because deciphering their verbal and visual codes requires a large scholarly apparatus. The Blake Multimedia Project addresses these difficulties with a hypertext interactive edition that displays the plates on a monitor or projects them on a screen.
