''To see a World in a Grain of Sand''And a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour''William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake''s poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable ''prophetic'' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake''s poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.

The Gothic is haunted by the ghost of William Blake. Scholars of the Gothic have long recognised Blake’s affinity with the genre, often invoking his name, characters, and images in passing. Yet, before now, there has been no major scholarly study focused on Blake’s intersection with the Gothic. William Blake’s Gothic imagination seeks to redress this disconnect and, in the words of another ghost, ‘lend a serious hearing’ to a dimension of Blake’s work we all somehow know to be vital and yet which remains understudied. The essays in this book do not simply identify Blake’s Gothic conventions but, thanks to recent scholarship on affect, psychology, and embodiment in Gothic studies, reach deeper into the tissue of anxieties that take confused form through this notoriously nebulous historical, aesthetic, and narrative mode. The collection opens with chapters touching on literary form, history, lineation, and narrative in Blake’s work, establishing contact with major topics in Gothic studies. The volume, however, eventually narrows its focus to Blake’s bloody, nervous bodies, through which he explores various kinds of Gothic horror related to reproduction, anatomy, sexuality, affect, and materiality.Rather than his transcendent images, this collection attends to Blake’s ‘dark visions of torment’.

Although he died nearly 200 years ago, something about his work continues to haunt the twenty-first century. What is it about Blake that has so endured?

Blake was one of the finest craftsmen of his time, an artist for whom art and poetry were inextricably linked. He was an indepedent and rebellious thinker, who abhorred pretention and falsity in others. His Songs of Innocence are products of this innocent imagination untainted by worldliness, while the Songs of Experience resulted from his feelings of indignation and pity for the sufferings of mankind. The Songs of Innocence and Experience , containing some of Blake''s finest and best-loved poems, are presented here in the form which best satisfied the high expectations of his poetic and artistic aspirations.

Reedice výboru Blakeovy poezie v překladu Jiřího Valji.William Blake (28. 11. 1757 - 12. 8. 1827). Anglický básník, grafik, výtvarník, filozof, vynálezce. Jedna z nejvýraznějších a nejoriginálnějších osobností romantismu. Revolucionář a kritik uspořádání společnosti. V jeho díle se prolíná tvorba básníka, mystika a vizionáře s tvorbou malíře a především kreslíře a grafika. William Blake byl básník i výtvarník experimentální, jeho práce vyrůstaly z nespokojenosti, filozofický odboj spojoval s hledáním nových výrazových prostředků. Blakeův mytologický systém je nám dnes stejně vzdálený jako mytologie antická, stejně jako ona přestal být skutečností teologickou a stal se faktem uměleckým. Jeho dílo zůstává živé těmi umělecky silnými hodnotami, k nimž jej jeho mystický názor podněcoval: odvahou přemýšlet samostatně o dogmatu, konkrétním a přitom filozofickým básnickým viděním a lidským zaujetím umělce, pro něhož příroda je mrtvá, není-li v ní člověk. Blake ovlivnil i mnohé umělce 20. století. Jeho verš: "Kdyby byly dveře vnímání očištěny, všechno by se člověku zjevilo ve své nekonečné podstatě" inspiroval Jima Morrisona k pojmenování své skupiny The Doors. Sbírka obsahuje i nejznámější, děsivě krásnou báseň Tygře, tygře.

Most recently, the Tate held an exhibition of his work: ''Magnificent ... reveal''s Blake''s vision at its most vivid and strange'' GUARDIANBlake''s written work was equally vivid. A major poet of the Romantic age, the full range of his poetry includes the joyful and sorrowful, the childlike and complex - and illustrates his original and prophetic vision. Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic opinions, he is now revered for the depth of his poetry and art, and the philosophical undercurrents intrinsic to all his creative work.''If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they''d immediately go out''''The imagination is not a state; it is the human existence itself''

Prophet, poet, painter, engraver - William Blake (1757-1827) was an artist of uniquely powerful imagination and far-reaching creative gifts. His work expresses the spiritual drama of the English national being, integrating poetry and visual art in a sustained work of visionary creativity unparalleled in English art history.Revealing Blake to be far more than a revolutionary social radical, this classic study reshapes our understanding of the artist's achievement. Kathleen Raine details the enriching effect of mystical, alchemical and gnostic philosophy on Blake's art. She unravels the complex, deeply felt symbolism expressed in his paintings and prints, and describes the powerful impact of his reading of Dante, Milton and the Bible.Raine's compelling text guides the reader through the life and thought of this extraordinary artist. Fully alive to the uniqueness of Blake's art - which has 'a reality, a coherence, a climate' all its own - she introduces famous work such as Jerusalem, Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Four Zoas and The Book of Job, relating them to Blake's world view and explaining their prophetic qualities, their fierce energy, and their central place in British Romantic art.

Blake occupies a very special place in the pantheon of English Romanticism: just as innovative and brilliant as a painter and draughtsman as in the field of poetry, he created works that are often difficult to categorize and that, while harking back to a classical and biblical past, also look forward to the future – with authors such as T.S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley and the Beat poets among his many modern admirers. This volume includes an essential selection of Blake’s poetry, from the lesser-known Poetical Sketches to his celebrated Songs of Innocence and of Experience and the “prophetic works” inspired by the French Revolution, covering over two decades of poetical activity and displaying the author’s originality and independence of mind at their sparkling best.

The Penguin Classics edition of Gerard Manley Hopkins''s Poems and Prose is selected and edited with an introduction by W.H. Gardner.Closer to Dylan Thomas than Matthew Arnold in his ''creative violence'' and insistence on the sound of poetry, Gerard Manley Hopkins was no staid, conventional Victorian. On entering the Jesuit order the age of twenty-four, he burnt all his poetry and ''resolved to write no more, as not belonging to my profession, unless by the wishes of my superiors''. The poems, letters and journal entries selected for this edition were written in the following twenty years of his life, and published posthumously in 1918.

Probably the most important single figure in nineteenth century American literature, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) exerted an enormous influence over later writers, especially French Symbolist poets, including Baudelaire and Mallarme, and through them he affected the entire field of modern literature from THE WASTE LAND to LOLITA. Probably best known for his macabre short stories, including THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, and THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, Poe''s influence was spread primarily through his poems and essays which are here reprinted. The current volume includes all his extant poems and extensive selections from his essays on poetry.

An introduction to William Morris’s personal collection of artworks from the Islamic world and how they came to influence his pattern-making  One of the principal founders of the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris was responsible for hundreds of patterns for wallpapers, fabrics, tapestries, and carpets that are iconic of the late nineteenth century and continue to resonate today. It is now widely acknowledged that his artistic production was stimulated by his deep familiarity with embroideries, woven velvets, silks, carpets, and metalwork from Iran, Syria, and Turkey, which he collected throughout his lifetime.  Ranging from popular nineteenth-century tourist merchandise to rare artefacts of historical significance, Morris’s collection is a testament to the interconnectedness of global artistic traditions and the enduring importance of recognising the contributions of various cultures to the evolution of his design and craftsmanship. This highly illustrated publication offers diverse perspectives in contextualising Morris’s role within contemporary debates around colonial collecting, Islam’s representation in the museum context, and issues of cultural appropriation from contributors within the field of British Arts and Crafts and Art from the Islamic world.

Here are sprightly Dorset ballads, verses set during the Napoleonic Wars, and personal poems reflecting on Hardy''s life and loves. Composed throughout Hardy''s life and animated by his affection for his beloved Wessex, their publication in 1898 heralded the arrival of a major new poetic voice.
