The collection showcases the profound poetry and visual artistry of William Blake, an influential figure of the Romantic Age who was largely unrecognized during his lifetime. His "prophetic works" are noted for their depth and complexity, earning him acclaim as one of the least read yet most significant poets in English literature. Blake's unique perspective on imagination as a divine element reflects his symbolic richness. His contributions to art and poetry have solidified his status as a pivotal figure in British culture, as recognized in various critiques and polls.

William Blake, a multifaceted poet, painter, and engraver, aimed to transform both society and individual consciousness through his visionary works. Despite initial neglect during his lifetime, he has since emerged as a pivotal figure in English poetry and Romanticism. This reprint of his 1926 edition includes a general introduction, glossary, index of symbols, commentary, and appendices by D.J. Sloss and J.P.R. Wallis, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of Blake's influential artistry and enduring legacy.

A visionary of eighteen-century English art, William Blake was largely unknown during his own lifetime and often rejected as a madman for claims of hearing voices and later having visions. Since his death, Blake has achieved enduring fame for his innovative and extraordinary work and is widely viewed as one of the most important of all English artists. Created between 1790 and 1793, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" is considered by many to be one of his most original and inspired books. Written largely in criticism of Emanuel Swedenborg's 1758 work "Heaven and Hell", which argued in favor of a strict moral structure and a clear distinction between good and evil, Blake instead viewed the world as unified where both the heaven of the physical world and the hell of desire and passion were all part of the same divine plan. Written in the form of imaginary Biblical prophecies, Blake created a world where contradictory impulses and emotions are all necessary parts of existence and where each person must embrace these paradoxical characteristics of human nature in order to progress in life. The result of Blake's vision is a dynamic and thought-provoking masterpiece from one of history's most eccentric and brilliant artists. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and reproduces one of the first set of plates in full color along with a complete transcription of the poem.

The Illustrations of the Book of Job were Blake's last masterpiece of printmaking.

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.

Die Göttliche Komödie von Dante Alighieri gilt als das größte literarische Werk der italienischen Sprache und als Meisterwerk der Weltliteratur. Das Opus beschreibt die Reise des Dichters durch Hölle, Fegefeuer und Himmel, symbolisch für den Weg der Seele zu Gott. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren schuf der Poet und Maler William Blake 102 Illustrationen zu Dantes epischer Dichtung, die von Bleistiftskizzen bis zu fertigen Aquarellen reichen. Blake übersetzt die visionäre Kraft von Dantes Sprache in Bilder, die die Spannbreite von den Qualen der Hölle bis zur Glückseligkeit des Paradieses zeigen. Trotz seiner Treue zum Text bringt Blake seine eigene Perspektive zu zentralen Themen ein. Heute befinden sich Blakes Zeichnungen in sieben Institutionen, und diese TASCHEN-Edition vereint sie mit Schlüsselversen aus Dantes Werk. Zwei Essays führen den Leser in die Welt von Dante und Blake ein. Der Einfluss der Göttlichen Komödie auf die bildende Kunst wird durch Arbeiten von Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Doré und Auguste Rodin verdeutlicht. Alle Illustrationen werden ausführlich erläutert, und zahlreiche faszinierende Ausschnittvergrößerungen lassen jedes Detail zur Geltung kommen. Diese Begegnung zweier großer Künstler wird in universellen Themen wie Liebe, Schuld, Sühne, Rache und Erlösung anschaulich.
