Children's Miscellany: Volume 2: More Useless Information That's Essential to Know: v. 2 (Buster Books)
Children's Miscellany: Volume 2: More Useless Information That's Essential to Know: v. 2 (Buster Books) by Dominique Enright is available at Global Books.
In this instalment of the "Brief Lives" series, Peter Ackroyd provides a compact and illuminating portrait of William Blake, the visionary poet, painter, and printmaker. Ackroyd, who previously wrote a massive, definitive biography of Blake, distils his deep knowledge into this accessible narrative, focusing on Blakeâs spiritual intensity and his defiant rejection of the Enlightenment's rationalism.
The book captures the textures of 18th-century Londonâthe city that fueled Blake's "prophetic books"âand examines his unique method of "relief etching" used to create his illuminated masterpieces. Ackroyd portrays Blake not as a madman, but as a misunderstood genius whose work combined social radicalism with a profound, personal mythology that continues to inspire artists and rebels today.
