Notes
'This is the first biography to reveal the true affinities between Blake's art and his poetry; in the magnificent biographical narrative we see Blake as a Cockney visionary and a London tradesman, as a prophet and an artisan. In the course of Blake's history, Peter Ackroyd brilliantly recreates eighteenth-century London...' Lavishly illustrated by Blake's art.
