Acerca deste livro eletrónico
William Blake by G.K. Chesterton is the biography of the well-known English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. Excerpt: "WILLIAM BLAKE would have been the first to understand that the biography of anybody ought really to begin with the words, "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth." If we were telling the story of Mr. Jones of Kentish Town, we should need all the centuries to explain it."
Acerca do autor
G.K. Chesterton, born Gilbert Keith Chesterton on May 29, 1874, in Kensington, London, was a prominent English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, and critic. His vast and diverse literary contributions included around 80 books, several hundred poems, 200 short stories, 4000 essays, and several plays. Chesterton's works are characterized by wit, a love of paradox, and a deep sense of the spiritual. His writing style was distinctive for its clarity, humor, and vivid use of analogy. Chesterton is perhaps best known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, who appeared in 'The Innocence of Father Brown' and subsequent collections. His thought-provoking works on Christianity and society, such as 'Orthodoxy' and 'The Everlasting Man,' have influenced countless readers, including the renowned C.S. Lewis. In his book 'William Blake,' Chesterton explores the life and works of the notable English poet, painter, and printmaker, providing insightful analysis of his art and philosophy. Chesterton's own theological and philosophical ideals surface as he delves into Blake's symbolic art and its significance. An esteemed figure in literary circles, Chesterton's contribution to English literature garnered him the title of Knight Commander with Star of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope Pius XI. G.K. Chesterton passed away on June 14, 1936, but left an enduring legacy as one of the most influential English writers of the 20th century.
