STORY Few figures in English culture unite poetry and visual art as completely as William Blake. Poet engraver painter and visionary Blake created an intensely personal imaginative world that was only gradually recognised as one of the great achievements of the Romantic age. This 1925 edition occupies an important place in the twentieth-century rediscovery of Blake. Its editor Geoffrey Keynes became one of the foremost Blake scholars and bibliographers of his generation helping establish reliable texts and a clearer understanding of Blake's extraordinarily complicated body of work. The choice of the Nonesuch Press was particularly appropriate. Founded only a few years earlier Nonesuch sought to combine the traditions of the private press with the technical capabilities of commercial printing. The resulting books are celebrated for typography paper illustration and design without abandoning the practical form of the printed book. Here Blake's writings are given the physical treatment they deserve: three substantial volumes generous margins marbled boards vellum spines and illustrations drawn from his artistic legacy. It is not simply an edition of Blake's writings but an artefact from the period in which Blake's reputation was being firmly established for a modern readership. WHY THIS MATTERS This set has several strong collecting points: William Blake — one of the defining figures of British Romanticism. Geoffrey Keynes — among the most important twentieth-century Blake scholars. Nonesuch Press — one of the most collectable British private/fine presses of the twentieth century. Complete three-volume set. Attractive vellum-backed marbled bindings. Illustrated with reproductions of Blake's art including the memorable image taken from his 1823 life mask. A substantial and visually impressive edition suitable for both a serious Blake collection and a fine-press library. CURRENT DESCRIPTION Complete set in three volumes. Finely printed by The Nonesuch Press and edited by Geoffrey Keynes one of the foremost Blake scholars of the twentieth century.

One of the assets of this book is that other than basic notions of traditional grammar no previous linguistic knowledge is required since the author provides definitions of linguistic categories and notions whenever possible. A Grammar of Shakespeare's Language doubles as a book to read from cover to cover and as a reference guide to particular language issues in the plays and poems." - Clara Calvo The European English Messenger -- DESCRIPTION: -- Shakespeare's language is a surprisingly neglected topic. An understanding of how his language works is fundamental to appreciating every aspect of his work. This first comprehensive study since the 19th century provides a detailed analysis of the grammar of Shakespeare's language. Steering clear of linguistic jargon it includes not only traditional features such as the make-up of clauses and differing parts of speech but also language used in various forms of discourse. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Blake; Blake N.

Stratford-on-Avon. He is considered the greatest playwright who ever lived. Life His father John Shakespeare was successful in the leather business during Shakespeare's early childhood but later met with financial difficulties. During his prosperous years his father was also involved in municipal affairs holding the offices of alderman and bailiff during the 1560s. While little is known of Shakespeare's boyhood he probably attended the grammar school in Stratford where he would have been educated in the classics particularly Latin grammar and literature. Whatever the veracity of Ben Jonson's famous comment that Shakespeare had "small Latine and less Greeke" much of his work clearly depends on a knowledge of Roman comedy ancient history and classical mythology. In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway eight years his senior and pregnant at the time of the marriage. Blake N. F.
