Publisher's Synopsis

William Blake, overlooked in his time, remains an enigmatic figure to contemporary readers despite his near canonical status. He believed that we live in the midst of eternity here and now, and that if we could open out consciousness to the fullness of being, it would be like experiencing a sunrise that never ends. Following Blake's life from beginning to end, Leo Damrosch draws on Blake's poems, his paintings, and his etchings and engravings to offer this illustrated account of Blake the man and his vision of our world.
