This   carefully crafted ebook: "Jerusalem (Illuminated Manuscript with the   Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your eReader   with a functional and detailed table of contents.
The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus,   accompanied by his uncle Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to   what is now England and visited Glastonbury during the unknown years of   Jesus. The legend is linked to an idea in the Book of Revelation  describing a Second Coming, wherein Jesus   establishes a new Jerusalem. The Christian Church in general, and the English   Church in particular, has long used Jerusalem as a metaphor for Heaven, a   place of universal love and peace. 
In the most common interpretation of the poem, Blake implies that a visit   by Jesus would briefly create heaven in England, in contrast to the   "dark Satanic Mills" of the Industrial Revolution. Blake's poem   asks  questions rather than asserting   the historical truth of Christ's visit. Thus the poem merely implies that   there may, or may not, have been a divine visit, when there was briefly   heaven in England.
William Blake (1757 - 1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic,   and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books.  Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the   imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely   unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in   the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

The Song of Los, written 1795, is one of William Blake's epic poems. The poem consists of two sections, "Africa" and   "Asia". In the first section Blake catalogues the decline of   morality in Europe, which he blames on both the African slave trade and   enlightenment philosophers. The book provides a historical context for The   Book of Urizen, The Book of Ahania, and The Book of Los, and also ties those   more obscure works to The Continental Prophecies, "Europe" and   "America". The second section consists of Los urging   revolution.

The Gates of Paradise, was first published in a limited run in 1793. In 1818 W. Blake changed the title to "For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise", and   added several more drawings as well as a preface and concluding verses. The seventeen emblematic drawings and their   commentaries depict the life of man from birth to death: passage through the   four elements (water, earth, wind and fire), hatching as a child from the   "mundane shell," encountering women, reaching for the moon of love   ("I want, I want"), falling into Time's Ocean. After several other   episodes he finally arrives at the death's door with Job's words: "I   have said to the Worm: Thou art my mother and my sister." There a female   figure is "Weaving to Dreams the Sexual strife, And Weeping over the Web   of Life."

Songs of Innocence and Experience brings together two books of poetry by William Blake that delve into these two opposing states of the human soul. His Songs of Innocence are often cheerful and sweet and always demonstrate the purity of youth, as Blake explores themes of freedom, happiness, loss and religion. The optimism of innocence is keenly contrasted by Blake's Songs of Experience, which feature a more realistic and often darker view of the world. Originally published as two books with pages illustrated by the author, Songs of Innocence and Experience has often been considered a foundational work in Romantic period literature which surely inspired poets like Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth and Byron in the years that followed.

Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience

Voici naître et fleurir, à la fin d'un siècle raisonneur, le génie prophétique de William Blake. Voici s'élever les chants les plus purs qu'on ait entendus depuis le temps de Shakespeare. Dans l'Angleterre rurale et citadine de George III, son regard inspiré perçoit tour à tour «les deux états contraires de l'âme humaine» opposant à la radieuse et naïve innocence qui recouvrait jusqu'aux taches noires du ramoneur et de l'esclave, l'âpre et sombre Expérience, surprise dans les replis du coeur comme dans les stigmates de l'oppression et de la misère.
