Bridget's feedback:

"This is a deep engagement with the subject, and your presentation of Blake's text and the critical commentary shows good control of the academic conversation on Blake. The discussion moves with purpose, makes good use of evidence, and keeps itself within a sound structure and organization, guiding the reader's comprehension from one paragraph to the next. I do notice occasional errors, including formatting (titles that should be italicized, etc.), that should be cleaned up before any final submission; watch out for typos, as well.

The long paragraph beginning "Blake also espoused many other notions...", currently a rather overwhelming block of text, could stand to be refashioned as a series of interlinked paragraphs that visually signpost shifts and nuances in the ideas. Earlier discussion does a good job in delineating Blake's work versus later reception and impact, but take care with the language in this paragraph to ensure you don't overstate the case considering Blake's reputation as a prophet or mystic. I recommend connecting the dots a little more between Damon 344 ("all things were created from the divine substance") and the backdrop you describe of terror and death (does Blake offer comfort?)."
