Notă biografică

WILLIAM BLAKEwas born in London in 1757. He was educated at home and then worked as an apprentice to the engraver James Basire before joining the Royal Academy in 1779. In 1782 he married Catherine Boucher, and a year later began his career as a poet when he publishedPoetical Sketches.This was followed bySongs of Innocence(1789) andSongs of Experience(1794), which he also designed and engraved. His other major literary works includeThe Book of Thel(1789),The Marriage of Heaven and Hell(c. 1793),Milton(1804–8), andJerusalem(1804–20). He produced many paintings and engravings during his lifetime. Blake died in 1827.

ALFRED KAZINwas born in Brooklyn in 1915. His first book of criticism, On Native Grounds (1942), was a groundbreaking study of American literature that changed radically our way of looking at it, and established him overnight as a major figure. In a series of books of his own since then, and in many critically edited texts of classic American literary works, he established himself as our preeminent man of letters. He taught widely at Harvard, Smith, Amherst, Hunter College, the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and elsewhere. In 1996 he received from the Truman Capote Literary Trust its first Lifetime Achievement Award in Literary Criticism (in memory of Newton Arvin). He died in 1998.
