An exciting addition to Everyman's Library: a new series of small, handsome hardcover volumes devoted to the world's classic poets. Our books have twice as many pages as Bloomsbury Classics' 128pp and cost 7. 99 against Bloomsbury's 9. 99. The binding, paper and production is visibly superior in every way to that of Bloomsbury.

Blake's explosive lyrical genius is here represented by the full text of 'Songs of Innocence' and 'Songs of Experience', plus a wide range of marvellous short poems unpublished in his lifetime. In addition there is a selection from the Prophetic Books in which the poet develops his own story of creation - alternately crazy and magnificent and from his dramatic and didactic poems and prose writings which reveal Blake as a major poet of the Romantic movement.

About the author

William Blake

William Blake (1757–1827) was a visionary English poet, painter, and printmaker whose work profoundly shaped the Romantic movement. Often unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake is now celebrated for his symbolic imagination, philosophical depth, and artistic innovation. His works continue to influence literature, art, and cultural thought worldwide.
