Synopsis "The Poetry Of Hell"

It is often said that two things are unavoidable; Death and Taxes. Certainly the latter is a common thorn in adult life but as to the former it seems that for many people it is merely a hiccup in Life's eternal journey. A journey they wish, if being of good deed and character, to share at the eternity of Heaven's largesse, a reward for Faith and the obligations of Religion. Of course for those not so fortunate an altogether different experience was prepared for them; Hell. Its nightmare visions so terrifying conjured up by Dante and Milton. Here we have gathered together verse by such luminaries as William Blake, Gerald Manley Hopkins, John Milton, Ben Jonson, Rupert Brooke and of course many others to share their thoughts and vision.

William Blake (1757-1827) fue un poeta, pintor y grabador inglés, figura clave del Prerromanticismo, reconocido por su misticismo, sus visiones y su obra que fusionaba texto e imagen, como "Cantares de inocencia y experiencia", aunque incomprendido en vida, su obra fue revalorizada póstumamente, influyendo profundamente en el arte y la literatura posteriores, destacando por su crítica a la autoridad y defensa de la imaginación como existencia humana.
