| Summary | "WILLIAM BLAKE, THE MAN" by Charles Gardner is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to explore the mental and spiritual evolution of the renowned poet and artist William Blake, using both his works and available biographical details. It delves into Blake's unique personality, creative vision, and the influences that shaped his artistic and spiritual journey. The opening of the work introduces Blake's early life, beginning with his birth in 1757 and his upbringing in a dissenter family where his imaginative nature made him an outlier. It describes his solitary explorations of both urban and rural landscapes that fed his artistic vision, particularly the striking moments of his childhood where he witnessed visions, such as a tree filled with angels. As he developed, his passion for reading and drawing flourished, guiding him toward his apprenticeship in engraving and foreshadowing his life's work as both a visual artist and a poet. This introductory chapter sets the stage for an exploration of how Blake's inner world shaped his creative expressions and spiritual beliefs as he navigated the complexities of his family life and artistic aspirations.
