''One of the most prophetic and gifted rebels in the history of Western man-a man peculiarly of our time'' is the way Alfred Kazin describes William Blake. His strange, many-faceted genius is given full representation in rich array in the 728 pages of this ''delightful, comfortable to hold, beautifully printed'' volume. This ''prophetic and gifted rebel'', Blake, spent his own days, until his death at seventy years in 1827, in comparative poverty and isolatuin in the heart of an indifferent London. Much of the subsequent literary criticism, while granting Blake’s immenese stature, obscured him in the fog of mysticism. Actually, the keystone of Blake’s creative work is not mysticism, but vision, and his deepest concern was ''that he should get all his vision down, through all the arts open to him…''That vision shines afresh in Blake’s poetry, prose, and drawings in this book, further illuminated by Alfred Kazin’s brilliant introduction. Also included is ''From Crabb Robinson’s Reminiscences'', a chronology of Blake’s life and work, and an index of titles and first lines of the poems
