Excerpt from The Life of William Blake
In Vol. II. Will also now be found an Essay on Blake, by James Smetham, republished (by per mission) from the London Quarieif/y Review. Its fine qualities and its inaccessibility will, I feel assured, make it welcome here as an important accession to a work which aims 'to gather to a focus all the light that can be shed on Blake and on the creations of his genius.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and in-depth exploration of the life and work of William Blake, a pioneering artist and poet often overlooked in traditional literary and art historical narratives. The author delves into the artist's early life, his time as an apprentice engraver, and his rise to prominence as a visionary figure, charting his unconventional artistic trajectory. Through intimate anecdotes and detailed accounts of Blake's artistic process, the book reveals the profound impact of his formative years, marked by solitary encounters with Gothic architecture and a deep fascination with spiritual themes. The author illuminates Blake's unique artistic vision and his defiance of prevailing artistic conventions, particularly in his embrace of archaic and symbolic forms. The book emphasizes the importance of Blake's artistic explorations, which foreshadowed the rise of Romanticism and paved the way for future generations of artists seeking to bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds.
