William Blake across art and belief

Kathleen Raine’s study brings Blake’s poetry, painting and engraving together, treating them as connected expressions of his spiritual vision rather than separate achievements. It also examines how Raine understands that vision in relation to English national identity. The illustrations give Blake’s visual work a substantial place alongside the account of his life and thought, making this an introduction to the range of his work as well as Raine’s interpretation of it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Blake’s work across several art forms
  • Readers exploring the relationship between art and spiritual ideas
  • Readers seeking an illustrated study of an individual artist

Book overview

Prophet, poet, painter and engraver -- Blake's uniqueness lies in no single achievement, but in the whole of what he was, which is more than the sum of all that he did. So writes Kathleen Raine in this classic study of William Blake, a man for whom the arts were not an end in themselves, but expressed his vision of the spiritual drama of the English national being. Profusely illustrated, this volume presents a comprehensive view of Blake's artistic achievements and a compelling and moving portrait of the life and thought of an extraordinary genius.
