Synopsis "The Poems of William Blake"

Living at a time of great innovation and industrial change in 18th century England, William Blake was not just a poet - he was a painter, an engraver, a mystic and even a proponent of the idea that marriage is a type of slavery for women. Many people, regarding the puzzlingly simple verse that Blake penned, consider his poetry to be firmly entrenched in the children's literature genre, but a closer examination of his simplest lines reveal much that is lurking beneath the surface. The Poems of William Blake introduces readers to a man who was deeply influenced by his church's literature, while also actively attempting to dismantle its power.

William Blake (1757-1827) fue un poeta, pintor y grabador inglés, figura clave del Prerromanticismo, reconocido por su misticismo, sus visiones y su obra que fusionaba texto e imagen, como "Cantares de inocencia y experiencia", aunque incomprendido en vida, su obra fue revalorizada póstumamente, influyendo profundamente en el arte y la literatura posteriores, destacando por su crítica a la autoridad y defensa de la imaginación como existencia humana.
