{"product_id":"blake","title":"Blake","description":"\"MARVELOUS . . . A first-rate biography of an extraordinary man.\" --The Wall Street Journal\n\n\"SUPERB . . . Ackroyd writes with clarity and ease: His book is consistently intelligent, entertaining and affectionate. One closes its pages full of admiration for Blake and eager to study his pictures and read his poetry. . . . Ackroyd emphasizes Blake the visionary Londoner, like Turner or Dickens, and convincingly relates the poet's work to the social upheavals of his time. . . . Above all, [he] makes Blake live for the modern reader.\"\n--The Washington Post Book World\n\n\"LYRICAL AND ILLUMINATING . . . Ackroyd is a masterly storyteller and interpreter of Blake's writing and art.\"\n--Chicago Tribune\n\n\"THE WORK OF A WRITER AT THE PEAK OF HIS LITERARY POWERS . . . It is one of the great strengths of Ackroyd's writing that he reminds us that every individual life and cast of mind has a tradition behind it, a context of other lives and minds which is half forgotten or not remembered at all. As a writer, he is always letting his bucket deeper and deeper down the historical well.\"\n--The New Yorker\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0345376110\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0345376110.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ackroyd, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
