Description
William Blake is a study of Britain's great Romantic visionary. This book reveals Blake to be far more than a social radical, reshaping our understanding of the artist's achievements and unraveling the complex symbolism expressed in his paintings and prints. Author Kathleen Raine guides the reader through the life and thought of this extraordinary artist, detailing the enriching effect of mystical, alchemical, and gnostic philosophy on Blake's art. The book examines famous works such as Jerusalem, Songs of Innocence and Experience, and The Book of Job, relating them to Blake's world view and analyzing their fierce energy and prophet qualities. Packed with nearly 200 images, William Blake is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this legendary artist. A new introduction by Colin Trodd reflects on Raine's life and work and the impact of her writings on Blake.
