책 소개

This single volume contains all of Blake's illuminated books, reproduced from the best available originals. It is published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Tate Gallery in the autumn of 2000.
David Bindman is a noted William Blake scholar.
In his Illuminated Books, William Blake combined text and image on a single page in a way that had not been done since the Middle Ages. For Blake, religion and politics, intellect and emotion, mind and body were both unified and in conflict with each other: his work is expressive of his personal mythology, and his methods of conveying it were integral to its meaning.
In his Illuminated Books, William Blake combined text and imagery on a single page in a way that had not been done since the Middle Ages. For Blake, religion and politics, intellect and emotion, mind and body were both unified and in conflict with each other: his work is expressive of his personal mythology, and his methods of conveying it were integral to its meaning. There is no comparison with reading books such as Jerusalem, America , and Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Blake's own medium, infused with his sublime and exhilarating colors. Tiny figures and forms dance among the lines of the text, flames appear to burn up the page, and dense passages of Biblical-sounding text are brought to a jarring halt by startling images of death, destruction, and liberation. Blake's hope that his books would obtain wide circulation was unfulfilled: some exist only in unique copies and none was printed in more than very small numbers. Now, for the first time, the plates from the William Blake Trust's Collected Edition have been brought together in a single volume, with transcripts of the texts and an introduction by the noted scholar David Bindman. Includes: Jerusalem; Songs of Innocence and of Experience; All Religions are One; There is No Natural Religion; The Book of Thel; The Marriage of Heaven and Hell; Visions of the Daughters of Albion; America a Prophecy; Europe a Prophecy; The Song of Los Milton a Poem; The Ghost of Abel; On Homers Poetry [and] On Virgil; Laocoon; The First Book of Urizen; The Book of Ahania; The Book of Los.
All of poet/artist William Blake's illuminated books are reproduced from the best available originals, & in one volume for the first time ever, under the auspices of the Blake Trust.
"If you know Blake's poems you're getting only half ??r rather none of ??he picture." ??The New York Times
"If you know Blake's poems you're getting only half-or rather none of-the picture."-The New York Times

All the illuminated books, reproduced from the best available originals, and in one volume for the first time ever. The nature of William Blake's genius is most completely expressed in his Illuminated Books. As a poet/artist, Blake invented a method of printing that enabled him to create works in which words and images combine to form pages uniquely rich in content and beautiful in form. Illustrations.
