| Summary | "William Blake: A Study of His Life and Art Work" by Irene Langridge is a biographical study written in the early 20th century. This work explores the life, philosophies, and artistic contributions of the enigmatic poet and artist William Blake, providing insight into his unique style and vision. Langridge aims to present Blake's life and achievements in a manner that is accessible to the general public, contrasting it with more exhaustive and less approachable texts. The opening of the book introduces Blake as a visionary artist whose work has not received the recognition it deserves, even decades after his death. Langridge shares details from Blake's childhood, highlighting his early experiences with visions that shaped his spiritual and artistic identity. The initial chapters outline Blake's formative years and his artistic education, emphasizing his inclination towards a unique form of expression that transcends conventional art, rooted in his deep inner life and imaginative experiences. With a focus on Blake's character and relationships, the text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his works, revealing the struggle between his visionary aspirations and the material world's constraints.
