Samenvatting:

Blake is undoubtedly one of the greatest lyricists in English poetry, yet his work is often complex and obscure. Influenced by contemporary issues and long-forgotten fads, the style of Blake's narrative verse is not always easy to appreciate. This, the second edition of the accliamed Blake: The Complete Poems remains unrivalled for the basic and detailed information it provides for interpreting the poems. The text is clear with a minimum of 'turned' lines that makes Blake's narratives so awkward to read. Guided by authorative scholarship on Blake, and comprehensive notes and Appendices, the book aims to help the reader to understand and appreciate the work.
