This volume presents the earliest critical essay on his art by journalist and diarist Henry Crabb Robinson, reproduced here in full for the first time in English, as well as illuminating biographical texts by painter John Thomas Smith and writer Alexander Gilchrist. An introduction by Martin Myrone, lead curator of British art to 1800 at Tate, contextualizes these writings, which provide a rich, nuanced view of the life and inventive work of both \"the historical Blake\" and \"the invented Blake\"--the artist who today occupies a revered place in the pantheon of visionary artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenry Crabb Robinson (1775-1867) was an English lawyer, journalist, and diarist who helped to found London University (now University College London). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Thomas Smith (1766-1833) was an English painter, engraver, antiquarian, and keeper of prints for the British Musuem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Alexander Gilchrist (1828-1861) was an author known for his biographies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Martin Myrone is lead curator of British art to 1800 at Tate and curated Tate's landmark 2019 Blake exhibition.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 5.5 x 4.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176769995001,"sku":"9781606066614","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/yRDqvTGJnV9781606066614.webp?v=1767686666","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/lives-of-william-blake-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
