About this audiobook
William Blake
William Blake (1757–1827) was an English poet and visual artist often linked to the Romantic movement. As a youth in London, he was primarily educated at home before becoming an engraver’s apprentice. Later, Blake would attend the Royal Academy and eventually find work in publishing. His debut, Poetical Sketches, was printed in 1783 followed by Songs of Innocence in 1789. The latter is arguably his most popular collection due to its vivid imagery and thought-provoking themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great introductory listen to some of the best known poems of the era. Liner notes include brief bios of the poets. Michael Sheen's voice is a perfect match for the subject material.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good poetry that takes many readings to get the full meaning of.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Only because I haven't read the whole thing yet. Although it is cliche, I can read The Tiger over and over again. Great Poem, interesting man.
