I want to do my senior thesis on a book that is illustrated by the author.My adviser suggested William Blake...and I like William Blake, but I do not luuvv William Blake, I am thoroughly done with Gibran...
Help!?
any one have suggestions outside the realm of graphic novels?

Hmmmm... what about

Edward Gorey? Saint-Exupéry? Or even maybe Hogarth, if he fits the bill...

didn't dante illustrate the inferno? don't do that though. the william blake idea, while i understand why its not that appealing, could be interesting because the illustrations are really more important than some of the other stuff that just came from the modernist fad or something. it might make a good thesis.
