About this ebook
“There is something in the madness of this man which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron and Walter Scott.” Writes Wordsworth
William Blake was completely detached from his contemporary writers. He transcended all norms and devised his own style, considered to be insane during his lifetime and later a revolutionary genius.
This book takes you behind the scenes of the creation of Blake’s art: poems and paintings. “The only way to the heart of a poem’s meaning lies through a consideration of the circumstances in which it had its birth.” Nicoll states as he displays said circumstances, giving the art a more relatable, humane nature.
Jonathan Jones, 21st century literary critic, writes of Blake that he’s “far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced” with full awareness that Britain has produced the likes of Shakespeare and Dickens. So buckle up and prepare yourself to embark on a thrilling journey into the mind of this genius!
“To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.”
~William Wordsworth
