Importance should indicate an articles relative relationship to Blake scholarship or public interest in Blake.


Criteria for importance can be broken down in the following ways:

  • Top Importance- Blake's Biography, complete works by Blake (whether epic poems or full publications), work treated extensively in scholarship or taught extensively in schools
  • High Importance - Important poems or illustrations, important Blake scholars, people or places important in understanding Blake's life
