Synopsis

This series aims to provide students, lecturers and the general reader with complete and fully annotated editions of the major English poets. The result of recent scholarship and criticism are embodied in each volume. The poems are arranged in the chronological order of their composition, and each has a headnote on its general significance, footnotes elucidating its local obscurities and a discussion of its meaning and occasion. This volume aims to present all Blake's verse, including scattered fragments and epigrams and also to provide as much annotation as is necessary to make the poetry accessible to the reader.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Blake is undoubtedly one of the greatest lyricists in English poetry, yet his work is often complex and obscure. Influenced by contemporary issues and long-forgotten fads, the style of Blake's narrative verse is not always easy to appreciate.

This, the second edition of the accliamed Blake: The Complete Poems remains unrivalled for the basic and detailed information it provides for interpreting the poems. The text is clear with a minimum of 'turned' lines that makes Blake's narratives so awkward to read.

Guided by authorative scholarship on Blake, and comprehensive notes and Appendices, the book aims to help the reader to understand and appreciate the work.
