Ur omslagstexten: "A MAN WITHOUT A MASK - A Study of William Blake with five plates illustrating the range, power and variety of Blake's drawings. In this new estimate William Blake is seen from an entirely fresh and original viewpoint, as a child of the Industrial Revolution. The early nineteenth century environment is a mixture of cruelty, social injustice, and desperate living conditions; the government is based on graft and bribery; what little remained of the eighteeth century has disintegrated. ------- Mr Bronowski has taken this mighty figure out of the literary wrappings which have so long effectively conceived him, and rendered an account of him and his work more intelligible and more effective than most previous accounts".
