Prophet, poet, painter and engraver -- Blake's
uniqueness lies in no single achievement, but in the whole of what he
was, which is more than the sum of all that he did.
So writes Kathleen Raine in this classic study of William
Blake, a man for whom the arts were not an end in themselves, but
expressed his vision of the spiritual drama of the English national
being. Profusely illustrated, this volume presents a comprehensive view
of Blake's artistic achievements and a compelling and moving portrait of
the life and thought of an extraordinary genius.
"Of all the current books of Blake, this is the one that will be
most read and read most often." --Lawrence Gowing, The Observer
