Synopsis

"Poetical Sketches is one of the early works by Blake. He often created melodies of his own composed verse. Alluding extensively to Greek mythology, he has created pieces that are a testament to his brilliant imagination. The unique harmony of his works is highly engrossing and refreshing."

About this title

About the Author:

One of the earliest and greatest British poets of the Romantic era. Blake was a painter, engraver and visionary. In an age of materialism, he gave importance to man’s creative prowess. His poems are unequalled for their sparkle and lyrical intensity.

Review:

"'It is singular that, for formed style and purely literary qualities, Blake perhaps never afterwards equalled the best things in this youthful volume...' - Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1863) 'The songs in this volume give evidence of so rare a gift of poetical judgement, such exquisite natural sense and art...' - Algernon Charles Swinburne (1868)"
