Philip Hoare – William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love
William Blake has 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 Blake. 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 20th century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom – Derek Jarman and Paul Nash to name but two. This stirring, deeply-felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change.
