Über diesen Titel

'Fascinating' The Times
'Blakeian in its singularity' New Statesman
'A wonderful adventure' Irish Times
'Rich, complex and original' Tom Holland
'A crisp, ambitious and thoroughly contemporary introduction' Times Literary Supplement

Poet, artist, visionary and author of the unofficial English national anthem 'Jerusalem', William Blake is an archetypal misunderstood genius. In this radical new biography, we return to a world of riots, revolutions and radicals, discuss movements from the Levellers of the sixteenth century to the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s, and explore the latest discoveries in neurobiology, quantum physics and comparative religion to look afresh at Blake's life and work - and, crucially, his mind. Taking the reader on wild detours into unfamiliar territory, John Higgs places the bewildering eccentricities of a most singular artist into context and shows us how Blake can help us better understand ourselves.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

a fantastic book about William Blake! I can only recommend it! I had previously read Peter Ackroyd's biography. Also very worth reading. But John Higgs succeeds in bringing poetry, visual art and vision even closer together. Higgs writes very sensitively and very respectfully. He also provides a lot of historical background. But he is not limited to that. It's also very nice that he read the book. You can tell from his voice that he wrote this book with emphasis and enthusiasm!
