The poet and religious revolutionary, William Blake (1757-1827), sowed the seeds of Romanticism with his innovative poems concerning the faith and visions that inspired him throughout his life. Whether he describes his own spirituality, the innocence of youth, or the corruption caused by humanity, his writings depict a world where spirits dominate and the mind is the gateway to Heaven.
This collection of his greatest works spans his entire poetic life, from the early, remarkable verses of "Poetical Sketches" to the "Songs of Innocence and of Experience" - a captivating exploration of good and evil. Together, they illuminate a self-created world that has captivated artists and poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Yeats, and Ginsberg.
