ahead of his time William Blake was. His command of language and articulation impressed me.

Very insightful and interesting to see how so far

The performer of this audiobook does a fantastic job of portraying the grammatical sense of each line. I've struggled with trying to read Milton on my own, but reading along with this recording makes it a much easier ride!

I wish Four Zoas and Jerusalem were included, but they are beasts in their own right and pretty much every other major Blake work is included, so I can't complain.

Great performance
