Selected Poems (Everyman's Library)

William Blake continues to resist classification: many consider him one of Romanticism's most difficult, fascinating avatars, and some see his writings as provocative precursors of modernism. This selection introduces the full range of his genius, from the deceptively simple Songs of Innocence and of Experience to his fiery prophetic poems. Extensive extracts from his visionary works include The Song of Los and A Vision of the Last Judgement, together with further extracts from his notebook.
