Examines the idea of 'gift-giving' (as opposed to commercial exchange) to reassess a wide range of issues in the thought and work of William Blake. The book addresses the nature of Blake's critique of commercial economics, his ideas regarding sociality, and his own production and dissemination of his work.

The idea of the gift, in contrast to concepts of commercial exchange or the exercise of self-interest at the expense of social ties, is integral to the ways in which William Blake thought about his art, and the production and dissemination of his work. Sarah Haggarty offers a sophisticated and thorough account of the idea of the gift in Blake's writing and designs, examining both the theoretical implications of the term, and the way it plays out in specific textual and visual contexts within Blake's works. Elegantly written, thoughtful and closely argued, this book explores particular passages with great dexterity and in a style that enables the reader to participate in the experience of discovering the significance of 'the gift' for understanding Blake's work.
