Erin Motmans

Erin is a literature major. She will be presenting her senior project, “Alienation in William Blake and Karl Marx.” Blake’s descriptions of spiritual alienation and his writing from the perspective of workers suggest a necessity in understanding materiality and spirituality as connected. But does Marx’s materialism bear this out, and where might the two’s writings on alienation converge and diverge?
