Autorenporträt

Kathleen Raine (1908-2003) wrote extensively on Blake throughout her long and distinguished literary career. Her two-volume study, Blake and Tradition, played a vital part in establishing that Blake belongs to a long and coherent tradition of Platonic, hermetic, and mystical thought. Her other books include From Blake to a Vision, Blake and the New Age, and The Human Face of God: William Blake and the Book of Job.
