Poet, painter, engraver and visionary, his was a radical spirit fired by genius. Yet his life has remained an enigma, with much of his poetry unknown to the general reader and his art only properly studied by scholars and art historians. Now Peter Ackroyd discloses the true nature of Blake's life and art. ***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 tradesmen, as a prophet and an artisan.
