A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This biography was written as a companion volume to the edition of the complete Poetical Works of William Slake which Messrs. Chatto and Windus have recently issued. Both works were prepared and put in type at the same time, in 1904; but there has been an imavoidable delay in their production. For two years they lay dormant. But as they were already in type the present writer, though author of the one work and editor of the other, could not use this time by making any substantial improvements either in the notes or the narrative. Other works have come out since, but none that attempts to take the place either of the edition of the poems or of the biography, and none that adds anything important to our knowledge of Blake slife or mind. A portraitbiography of Blake is as much needed now as it was in 1904, and by a larger group of readers, as a wider knowledge of his importance has begun to grow up. The present writer regrets not to have seen the edition of the shorter poems published by Mr. Frowde of the Clarendon Press, Oxford, under the editorship of Mr. Sampson, in time to make any use of it in the complete Works. Mr. Frowde sedition notices some few slight errors in the first full edition of Blake, that prepared by the present writer aided by Mr. W. B. Yeats forM r. Quaritch. These slips of the pen have sometimes found their way into the present edition. Mr. Sampson had much good and careful assistance in preparing his work. He is a professional teacher of bibliography, and gave his whole attention to verbal accuracy.
