Abstract (en)

Points out a number of verbal parallels between Erasmus Darwin's 1789-1791 poem The Botanic Garden and Blake's 1794 The Tyger. Notes that Darwin's description of a nightmare was based on Fuseli's 1781 painting The Nightmare (Detroit Institute of Arts) and suggests that Blake too may have been influenced by Fuseli.
