One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake (1757-1827) was an artist, poet, mystic and visionary.

Throughout his life Blake drew on a rich heritage of philosophy, religion and myth, to create a poetic worlds illuminated by his spiritual and revolutionary beliefs that have fascinated, intrigued and enchanted readers for generations.Book details
