G.E. Bentley, Jr., emeritus professor of English at the University of Toronto, is the author of numerous books about Blake.
"[A] splendid account and a fitting capstone to Bentley'; s
lifetime of Blake scholarship."
"[Bentley] affectionately and authoritatively renders the life of
the artist who's now considered less madman than visionary. . . .
Via Blake's writings and drawings, records of his intimates, and
thorough treatments of artworks . . ., Bentley evokes something of
the whole man--an eccentric genius who saw the world as a product
of personal imagination."
"A masterful monument having some of the energy and irresistible
authority of Blake himself."
"Certain to become the standard biography of Blake."
"Everyone who loves Blake will be grateful to have, at last, a
thoroughly reliable, fully documented and closely detailed life of
him. It is an unlooked-for bonus that the book is beautifully
designed."
