Regarded today as one of England\; greatest poets and painters, With am Blake (1757-1827) was perceived during Its lifetime as a brilliant eccentric whose works were outside the mainstream of English literature and art.
Classic 1863 biography — largely credited with rescuing the great English poet and painter from oblivion — offers sensitive discussions of William Blake’s (1757-1827) childhood, years as an engraver’s apprentice, relations with patrons and employers, trial for treason, declining health, and untimely death. Includes critical commentary on the artist’s boyhood poems. Includes over 40 black and white Blake illustrations.
Dover 2012 reissue of the 1998 Dover republication of the second edition, published by John Lane Company, London and New York, 1907.
