A Choice of Blake's Verse is an anthology of William Blake's poetry, selected and introduced by Kathleen Raine. Published by Faber & Faber in 1970, this 151-page paperback edition offers a curated selection of Blake's work, accompanied by an introduction by Raine. The book explores themes of Blake's poetry and is aimed at a general audience interested in English literature and poetry.
William Blake was an English poet, painter and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake has become a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. What he called his "prophetic works" were said by the 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language". While he lived in London his entire life, except for three years spent in Felpham, he produced a diverse and symbolically rich collection of works, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God", or "human existence itself".
