Often categorized as pre-Romantic by literary historians, William Blake (1757-1827) is, however, a figure that defies any attempt at classification and occupies a privileged place in English lyricism. Rebellious, visionary, and mystical, he broke with the official doctrines of his time (theological, moral, political, and aesthetic) and anticipated many thinkers who are now part of the cultural heritage of the West. His is a world where evil is a necessary force and moral laws are chains imposed on man, whom the poet aspires to liberate through imagination, vision, and knowledge. This anthology offers a wide selection of the works of William Blake, including his most well-known poems, such as "The Tiger" and "A Poison Tree," and is complemented by a glossary of words with special meaning in the author's cosmogony and a chronology.
