The discovery of William Blake, a poet, artist, visionary, who was ahead of his time by a whole century, happened only in the second half of the XIX century: romantic poets saw him as a fellow spiritually. By the beginning of the 20th century, his work was universally recognized. Blake became a cult figure in the circle of English Symbolists. His poetry rightfully took one of the leading places in the rich literary heritage of England.
