Crazy to think how Blake kept volumes and volumes of poetry and intricate illustrations and paintings private during his lifetime, his enigmatic work made known to the world only later.
A more recent equivalent might be Bob Dylan's studio outtake bootlegs and the Basement Tapes, circulating among a community of devoted fans. Except imagine there never were any official albums released.
William Blake posthumously became the original modern bootleg artist.
