Illustrations of The Book of Job by William Blake in English translated by Steve Philip(Myers Presslers Publication)

by William Blake, Steve Philip (Translator)

Overview

William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. What he called his prophetic works were said by 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".His visual artistry led 21st-century critic Jonathan Jones to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced". In 2002, Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. While he lived in London his entire life, except for three years spent in Felpham, he produced a diverse and symbolically rich œuvre, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God"or "human existence itself".
William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job primarily refers to a series of twenty-two engraved prints (published 1826) by Blake illustrating the biblical Book of Job. It also refers to two earlier sets of watercolours by Blake on the same subject (1806 and 1821). The engraved Illustrations are considered to be Blake's greatest masterpieces in the medium of engraving,and were also a rare commercial and critical success for Blake.

Translator Steve was taught to stay at home & study from the young age. Apparently that habit never left him. And studying foreign magazines his father brought from foreign trips got him translating them to English and learning as much languages as he could. He knows a lot of them & translate books in those languages to English.
