William Blake — World of Art
Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement.
William Blake’s paintings, prints and poetry belong to an intensely connected imaginative world. Kathleen Raine’s study explores him as poet, painter, engraver and visionary, helping readers approach the spiritual ideas and symbolic structures that run through his work.
Raine considers the influence of mystical, alchemical and gnostic thought, alongside Blake’s reading of Dante, Milton and the Bible. Works including Jerusalem, Songs of Innocence and of Experience and The Book of Job provide points of reference for understanding how his visual and literary inventions relate to one another. The emphasis is on the ideas that animate the images as well as their fierce expressive energy.
This World of Art paperback contains 224 pages and 185 illustrations, with a preface by Colin Trodd. It is well suited to readers seeking a sustained introduction to Blake’s thought and art, particularly those interested in British Romanticism, visionary imagery and complex symbolism. A useful companion for returning to familiar works with a deeper sense of their imaginative context.
