The Cambridge Companion to William Blake (Cambridge Companions to Literature)

About this book

A poet painter and engraver William Blake died in 1827 in obscurity. Yet he has become one of the most anthologized writers in English and one of the most collected British artists. His urge to create masterpieces of revelation has left complex (and sometimes bizarre) works of written and visual art. The essays in this Companion and a chronology guides to further reading and glossary of Blakes terms identify the key points of departure into Blakes diverse world.
