このコンテンツについて
How one visionary inspired 200 years of art, poetry, and protest…
Weaving between the historical, cultural and personal, award-winning author Philip Hoare reveals a web of creative minds and artistic iconoclasts fired with the wild and revolutionary genius of William Blake.
'Undoubtedly Hoare’s masterpiece' Olivia Laing
In 1973, Derek Jarman set off from London to film the stones of Avebury. He was following in the footsteps of Paul Nash, who had photographed the ancient megaliths a generation before. Standing in that muddy field, by those stones, both artists had felt a direct connection to their hero – a man who had died a long, long time ago, yet who remained electrically alive to them.
In this alluring and poetic odyssey, Philip Hoare traces the enduring legacy of William Blake and how he came to inspire so many creative lives. Reaching out of his past and into our future, Blake draws together the natural world and metaphysical realms, merging the human and the animal and the spiritual, firing up twentieth-century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom. This stirring, deeply felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change.

‘Queer in all senses of the word’ Neil Tennant, Pet Shop Boys
‘An impassioned magnum opus celebrating Blake's star-shaken genius by discovering his lineage everywhere in the author’s own crystal cabinet of artists and outlaws. A tremendous literary performance’ Iain Sinclair, author of The Last London
‘Wild, free, exhilaratingly beautiful, and so alive to the past that everyone and everything seems to be happening right now on the page. I cannot think of a more original writer at work today. For Hoare, all art flows through life like the air we breathe, like thought, or the beat of the heart: the two are never separate. His mind moves from one person or place to another, with barely a change of tense … To look at English art through his eyes is to see more than you ever could before’ Laura Cumming, author of Thunderclap
‘The life and legacy of a wild man. Hoare, the author of Albert and the Whale (2021), captures the singular genius of poet, artist, and visionary William Blake (1757-1827) in an exuberant romp through Blake’s life, times, and afterlife … he examines a Blakean universe replete with fairies and spirits, butterflies and stars, sacred monsters and hermaphrodites. Sometimes maddeningly digressive, Hoare’s history is, nonetheless, endearingly intimate. Abundantly illustrated. An imaginative response to an enigmatic artist’ Kirkus Review
