A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Blake in a form which would have appealed to that artist-poet, and in a character this Florence type which for him might well have symbolized the birthplace of his hero Michelangelo. True we must relinquish the exquisite designs which Blake interwove with the fabric of his verse, yet there may still be a positive advantage in reading these poems as poetry and nothing more, rather than in viewing them as fairy missals or as pictures singing Our text too, as the reader may wish to be assured, is a faithful reproduction of the original, unmixed with the seconds of ingenious editors. Every word, as Catherine Blake said of a dearly prized copy of theS ongs of I nnocence, is Blake sown.

Présentation de l'éditeur

William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His visual artistry led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced". Although he lived in London his entire life except for three years spent in Felpham he produced a diverse and symbolically rich corpus, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God", or "Human existence itself". This edition includes the "Songs of Innocence and Experience" as well as "The Book of Thel".
