The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (Annotated) William Blake

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake. The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. William Blake (London, November 28, 1757 - ibidem, August 12, 1827) was a British poet, painter, and printmaker. Although largely unknown throughout his life, Blake's work is now highly regarded. Because of the relationship that poetry has in his work and their respective engravings, Blake is often used as an example of the "total artist". According to The Guardian newspaper, "William Blake is by far the greatest artist Britain has ever produced."Considering Blake's achievements in poetry or the visual arts separately would be detrimental to understanding the magnitude of his work: Blake viewed these two disciplines as two means of a unified spiritual effort, and they are inseparable in correctly appreciating his work.
