SELECTED POEMSWil l iam Blake

Blake occupies a very special place in the pantheon of English Romanticism: just as innovative and brilliant in the figurative arts as in the field of poetry, his works are often di�cult to categorize and, while constantly hark-ing back to a classical and biblical past, they also look forward to the future and find resonance there – with authors such as T.S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley and the Beat poets among his many modern admirers.

This volume includes a comprehensive selection of Blake’s poetry, from the early Songs of Innocence and Experience to his later “prophetic works”, covering al-most four decades and displaying the author’s original-ity and independence of mind at their sparkling best.
