中文简介：

威廉·布莱克（William Blake）是一位诗人和艺术家。他于十八世纪出生于英国伦敦苏荷区，是一个店主的儿子，现在被誉为激进的左派艺术家。近来，泰特美术馆为他的作品举办了一场展览。

布莱克的书面作品同样生动，作为浪漫主义时代的主要诗人，他的诗歌内容全面，涵盖了欢乐和悲伤，童真和复杂，并展现了他对先知的独特想象。因其特立独行的观点，他被同时代的人认为是疯子，但现在他因其诗歌和艺术的深度以及他所有创作中固有的哲学暗流而受到尊敬。

英文简介：

William Blake was a poet and artist. Born in Soho in the eighteenth century, the son of a shopkeeper, he is now acclaimed as a radical left-field artist. Most recently, the Tate held an exhibition of his work.

Blake's written work was equally vivid. A major poet of the Romantic age, the full range of his poetry includes the joyful and sorrowful, the childlike and complex - and illustrates his original and prophetic vision. Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic opinions, he is now revered for the depth of his poetry and art, and the philosophical undercurrents intrinsic to all his creative work.
