1868124106London: John Camden Hotten 1868. Second edition of Swinburne's work on seminal Romantic poet William Blake. Octavo original cloth with illustrations from Blake's designs in facsimile including 6 hand-colored plates. In very good condition. Bookplate. English poet painter and printmaker William Blake is widely considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. He produced a diverse and symbolically rich oeuvre which embraced the imagination as "the body of God" or "human existence itself". Although Blake was considered somewhat mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views he is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work.
