This carefully crafted ebook: "The Drawings and Engravings of William Blake (Fully Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This book collects the some of the best of William Blakes unique and evocative artwork. William Blake (1757 ndash; 1827) was an English poet; painter; engraver; one of the earliest and greatest figures of Romanticism. His work was filled with religious visions rather than with subjects from everyday life. Blakes fame as an artist and engraver rests largely on a set of 21 copperplate etchings to illustrate the Book of Job in the Old Testament. However; he did much work for which other artists and engravers got the credit. Blake was a poor businessman; and he preferred to work on subjects of his own choice rather than on those that publishers assigned him. Blake is acclaimed one of Englands great figures of art and literature and one of the most inspired and original painters of his time.

Not so much about the Clash as a description of the context in which they flourished in the USA. Free form radio; music label renegades and underground music writers inadvertently teamed up and created fertile ground for the only band that matters to become legends.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Pretty much everything you could hope forBy Practicing PhenomenologistWriting on rock is a tricky business -- many have been wrecked in the narrows between the Scylla of academicism and the Charybdis of mere fandom. Doane knows these waters well and strikes a tone that passes unscathed. There is new research here; great detail and social criticism; as well as humor; erudition; and a deep sense for the music itself and the scene it both engendered and reflected. The most interesting aspect of the book relative to other works on the Clash is its focus on the dynamics of free-form radio and the disseminating power of critical punk writing on punk. A cultural moment is captured here -- and thought through in its ramifications for the current sonic-cultural conjuncture. If the Clash ever mattered to you; punk; go read it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Radio context of The Clash.By James A. KlososkyMore about the context The Clash operated in than the band itself. A very interesting read for those interested in history and radio; not as much so for those wanting more stories about the band.
