Blake The Complete Poems
28 Mar 07

"Blake is for strong minds...but not to have read him is to have missed one of the most rewarding experiences in English literature; and this is by far the best book to read him in."
- Victor Price, BBC

By turns poet, artist and visionary William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great figures in literature.

Like Milton before him, the prodigality of his allusions and references is little short of astonishing. Consequently, his longer visionary poems can challenge the modern reader. This book acts as an interpreter, guide and illuminator to bring the poems fully to life.

The third edition has been substantially rewritten and updated in light of the past two decades of Blake Scholarship. It includes, for the first time, the full texts of the early prose tracts, All Religions are One and There is No Natural Religion, as these are vital to an understanding of Blake's poetry and art.

Illustrated with Blake’s visionary paintings and designs, W. H. Stevenson's Blake is a masterpiece of scrupulous and democratic scholarship. It remains the most comprehensive edition of Blake’s work.
