William Blake (1757-1827), an eminent figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age, was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Unappreciated during his lifetime, Blake’s work is now considered seminal in the literature and art of the Romantic period. His prophecies, rife with mystical and visionary themes, explore the nature of the universe, the spiritual and the material. ‘Milton: A Poem’, written between 1804 and 1811, is one of his most profound works, juxtaposing the characteristic themes of innocence and experience, while exploring the poet’s role in the face of tyranny and repression. As with his other works, such as ‘Songs of Innocence and of Experience’ and ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’, Blake employed his unique method of illuminated printing, which combined text and visual art. Known for his expressive symbols and complex mythologies, Blake’s work challenges readers with its intricate mythos and profound themes of good and evil, revolution, and redemption. His influence has extended beyond the literary field and into politics, music, and countercultural movements, affirming his status as a versatile luminary whose ruminations on humanity have permeated diverse aspects of modern thought and art.
