レッスンの詳細
Blake is one of the best-loved but least understood English poets. He was also an artist and printer. He illustrated and printed the books in which he published his poetry.
Although he was influenced by many of the ideas popular during his day, he was an original thinker. There is no other poet quite like Blake.
Of Blake’s poems, 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger' are two of the best known and easiest to read and discuss. They are a good place to start if you would like to look more deeply into this remarkable man and his work.
If you request this lesson, I will send you a pdf with the text of the poems and a short introduction to Blake. I will also send a pdf explaining some of the difficult words. If possible, please try to read these before our lesson.
You will have a chance to read the poems aloud during the lesson, if you choose. This is entirely optional: I will not put pressure on you.
If you would like to send me your written response to the poems (no more than one response of 200 words, please), I will give you brief feedback on it.
This lesson will appeal to Upper Intermediate and Advanced students who are interested in English literature, history, and culture.
