If you admire the poems and illustrations of William Blake you will already own a copy of this book. Sadly, it is not perfect! For a start, this is a very large and heavy volume. It means you have to think twice about how you intend to look through it. At 480 pages and A4 size, this is an important consideration. I found placing it on a table top was the only option for any lengthy read. Then you have to bear in mind this is an art book. Much of the poetry is difficult to read from the illustrations, and the transcripts – all included at the end of the book – are printed in a miniscule font. If you aim to study the illuminated pages along with the poems, it would prove easier to have a separate complete William Blake poetry book to hand. Finally, there is little in the way of biography, save a few notes, so it would require the reader to undertake further research into William Blake’s life. I had not previously seen a copy of ‘The complete illuminated works’, but took a chance and purchased one second-hand at a reduced cost. I am very happy with the result, it is compelling, and, despite the various issues, I would still buy the book, even at full price. If in doubt, see - and hold a copy of the book first!Vollständige Rezension lesen
