One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake was also an artist, mystic, and visionary. His work ranges from the deceptively simple and lyrical Songs of Innocence and their counterpoint Experience--which juxtapose poems such as "The Lamb" and "The Tyger," and "The Blossom" and "The Sick Rose"--to highly elaborate, apocalyptic works, such as The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem. Throughout his life Blake drew on a rich heritage of philosophy, religion and myth, to create a poetic worlds illuminated by his spiritual and revolutionary beliefs that have fascinated, intrigued and enchanted readers for generations.

About William Blake

William Blake (1757–1827), born in London, was an English poet, painter, and engraver. Trained as an engraver, he produced his poetry as illuminated books that he hand-lettered and illustrated, among them Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794). His longer prophetic works include The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (c. 1790) and Milton (c. 1804–1811). Largely unrecognized as a poet during his lifetime, he is now regarded as a foundational figure of Romanticism.
