SynopsisThis vivid facsimile of Blake's romantic and revolutionary publication offers a concise expression of his essential wisdom and philosophy. His distinctive hand-lettered text is accompanied by 27 color plates of his stirring illustrations., Once regarded as a brilliant eccentric whose works skirted the outer fringes of English art and literature, William Blake (1757-1827) is today recognized as a major poet, a profound thinker, and one of the most original and exciting English artists. Nowhere is his glorious poetic and pictorial legacy more evident than in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, which many consider his most inspired and original work. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is both a humorous satire on religion and morality and a work that concisely expresses Blake's essential wisdom and philosophy, much of it revealed in the 70 aphorisms of his "Proverbs of Hell." This beautiful edition, reproduced from a rare facsimile, invites readers to enjoy the rich character of Blake's own hand-printed text along with his deeply stirring illustrations, reproduced on 27 full-color plates. A typeset transcription of the text is included.

A famously quotable book
Dover publishing is great at giving wonderful reproductions of classic books. All the plates and writing, as they were. And all the text properly typed. Great book I loved it. It satisfied my curiosity about this famous English poetBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

The Genius and Prophesies of Wm. Blake
Perhaps no greater wisdom in no simpler form has ever been imparted that can compare to the sheer genius of Blake. Read The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, and especially the Proverbs of Hell! From “Energy is eternal delight,” to “The path of excess leads to the palace of wisdom,” and all in between, you’ll come away as enchanted as you’ll be amazed by the extraordinarily simple - yet complex beyond measure - mind of William Blake.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
