Just as an author raises a reader’s brow for penning down a contentious piece, he wins laurels aplenty for

scripting characters that remain etched in the memory long after the last page is turned over. If V. S. Naipaul’s Miguel Street beguiled you with its impeccable narrative, then P. G. Wodehouse kept you in splits with his incomparable wit and humour. And to take a leaf out of a familiar figure from the archives of history, breathe life into it, ingeniously weave characters around it, in the process, creating a literary magnum opus has been the hallmark of the London-based acclaimed author, Tracy Chevalier.

Her preceding book – Girl with a Pearl Earring – may have spawned several admirers, but her latest work, Burning Bright, cements Tracy’s credentials as a prolifi c writer. Set in the city of London during the eighteenth century, in an eon where revolutionary fervour was gaining prominence in the hearts of many, Burning Bright dwells on the chief protagonist, William Blake, an acclaimed artist and poet of that era with shades of grey, whose contribution to the arena of visual arts and poetry is talked of till date. Painting the plot further is the infusion of the characters Jem Kellaway and Maggie Butterfield. While Jem comes from a family that is engaged in carpentry at Dorsetshire and arrives at the city in search of greener pastures after leading a life in the hinterland, Maggie’s family is well acquainted with the streets of London that have doled her family difficult lessons in life, relegating it to the lower strata of society.
