Summary: "William Blake" by G. K. Chesterton is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and artistry of the English poet and painter William Blake, focusing on his unique philosophical and artistic perspectives. It delves into Blake's complex character, his visions, and the intricate relationship between his life experiences and his artistic output. The opening of the biography outlines some philosophical premises about how to approach Blake's story, suggesting that a biography should start with universal themes rather than mere facts. Chesterton frames Blake's life as a unique intersection of mysticism and practicality, pointing out that while he was a man engaged with the normalities of his environment, he was also deeply eccentric. The narrative moves from Blake's childhood, touching on formative experiences that shaped his visionary perspective, to recount his initial artistic achievements and his distinctive approach to life as both an engraver and poet. The introduction sets a tone that blends analytical observation with a sense of reverence for Blake's art, hinting at the more profound exploration of his mystical experiences to come.
