Born on November 28, 1757, in London, England, William Blake was a seminal figure of the Romantic Age, widely esteemed for his unique artistic and poetic vision. His works encompassed a highly original combination of poetry and visual art, often manifesting in the form of 'illuminated' printing that he both devised and employed extensively. A largely self-taught polymath, Blake was an engraver by trade but is best known today for his contributions to literature and the visual arts. His prophetic works were not first appreciated by his contemporaries, with his genius receiving full recognition only in the late 19th century. Among his major works, 'The Complete Illuminated Books of William Blake (Unabridged - With All The Original Illustrations)' is an essential compilation that exhibits his holistic artistry, bringing together the integrated experience of image and text that is quintessential to understanding his work. Blake's literary style is characterized by its mystical, visionary, and often esoteric themes, marked by a reflective critique of the societal and political norms of his time. This distinct blend of the spiritual and the revolutionary, along with his distinctive technique of relief etching, positions Blake as a profoundly influential figure in both the literary and artistic canons. Today, Blake's work continues to be studied, revered, and celebrated for its depth, complexity, and imaginative power.
