The Man Without a Mask
ITHOUT having read Dr. Bronow- : ski’s book on William Blake, it is, perhaps, risky to assume after hearing The Man Without a Mask that this is rather a triumph of potting. But I suspect that it is. The general effect may have been rather one of incoherency, out of which Blake’s intense faith and purpose stood like a landmark. But any attempt to round it off into a neat and finished whole would have lost in veracity as much as in force. A good deal of attention was given in the programme to the events of Blake’s time, without which any understanding of the man and his work becomes difficult. The quotations weré well chosen and the space allotted to them generous. All in all I thought it the best biographical study I have heard over the air.
