Sinopse

William Blake's "Poems of William Blake" presents a profound synthesis of visionary imagination and poetic craft, characterized by its richly symbolic language and innovative use of verse. The collection encompasses a diverse range of themes, from the innocence of childhood to the complexities of human experience, showcasing Blake's unique style that blends lyrical beauty with philosophical depth. His work reflects the tumultuous socio-political landscape of late 18th-century England, influenced by the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and the Industrial Revolution, as Blake engages with eternal questions of morality, spirituality, and the human condition. William Blake (1757-1827) was not only a poet but also a painter, engraver, and visionary thinker whose artistic endeavors were deeply intertwined with his beliefs. Growing up in the artistic milieu of London, Blake's radical views on religion and society informed his writings. A member of the pre-Romantic tradition, Blake's innovative approaches to form and content, along with his rejection of conventional artistic boundaries, led him to create a body of work that defies categorization and engages with both the personal and the universal. I highly recommend "Poems of William Blake" to readers seeking to explore the depths of human experience through the lens of imaginative poetry. This collection will resonate with those who appreciate rich symbolism and philosophical inquiry, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of existence and the power of the imagination.

    William Morris was born in Walthamstow, London on 24th March 1834 he is regarded today as a foremost poet, writer, textile designer, artist and libertarian.  
    Morris began to publish poetry and short stories in 1856 through the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine which he founded with his friends and financed while at university. His first volume, in 1858, The Defence of Guenevere and Other  Poems, was the first published book of Pre-Raphaelite poetry. Due to its luke-warm reception he was discouraged from poetry writing for a number of years.  
    His return to poetry was with the great success of The Life and Death of Jason in 1867, which was followed by The Earthly Paradise, themed around a group of medieval wanderers searching for a land of everlasting life; after much disillusion, they discover a surviving colony of Greeks with whom they exchange stories. In the collection are retellings of Icelandic sagas. From then until his Socialist period Morris's fascination with the ancient Germanic and Norse peoples dominated his writing being the first to translate many of the Icelandic sagas into English; the epic retelling of the story of Sigurd the Volsung being his favourite.  
    In 1884 he founded the Socialist League but with the rise of the Anarchists in the party he left it in 1890.  
    In 1891 he founded the Kelmscott Press publishing limited edition illuminated style books.  His design for The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer is a masterpiece.  
    Morris was quietly approached with an offer of the Poet Laureateship after the death of Tennyson in 1892, but declined.  
    William Morris died at age 62 on 3rd October 1896 in London.

    “An enthralling pyroclastic flow of poetic flagellation ripping the mask of stoic indifference and lapdog-media concocted majestic stature of a narcissistic tyrant. And every wordstroke of the poet never fails to decode and eviscerate the megalomaniac to the grave.”
