Prophet, poet, painter, and engraver, Blake captured the spiritual drama of English nationalism, integrating poetry and visual art to create a truly unique body of work. First published in 1968, this classic study reveals Blake to be far more than a social radical, reshaping our understanding of the artist's achievements and unraveling the complex symbolism expressed in his paintings and prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Kathleen Raine guides the reader through the life and thought of this extraordinary artist. Detailing the enriching effect of mystical, alchemical, and gnostic philosophy--as well as Dante, Milton, and the Bible--on Blake's art, she examines famous works such as \u003cem\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSongs of Innocence and Experience\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Job\u003c\/em\u003e, relating them to Blake's world view and analyzing their fierce energy and prophet qualities. Packed with nearly 200 images, \u003cem\u003eWilliam Blake\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-have for fans of this legendary artist. This book is reissued with a new introduction by Colin Trodd, reflecting on Raine's life and work and the impact of her writings on Blake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Raine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500204721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500204726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2022","brand":"Kathleen Raine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995254751487,"sku":"9780500204726","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dd2a37b-af96-45bf-8d28-b0d4298e2554.jpg?v=1683334755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-blake-kathleen-raine-9780500204726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
