Description
William Blake was a poet of intense passion, of visions and angelic CLIPPER
visitations and of bullish non-conformism. From a world where he
was inspired by the terrible cruelties of child labour and the social
and political revolutions swamping Europe and America, he
created poetry of both power and tenderness.
Unique in his methods and influential to this day, these readings of
some of his works show the range of his concerns and styles. Some
are fuelled by angry despair at Man’s inhumanity, others joyously
childlike, and others almost spiritual manifestos couched in
language of rare delicacy.
