Songs of innocence and of experience

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.

Eternity, Jehovah, Adam, Eva, Cains, Death, Sin
This brief drama addressed to Lord Byron, whose Cain, a Mystery appeared in   1821, treats the themes of revenge, atonement, forgiveness, and   self-annihilation through the reactions of Adam, Eve, Satan, and Jehovah to   the first murder. The two plates of the work were etched in relief in 1822.   
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 Ghost of Abel: A Revelation In the Visions of Jehovah Seen by William Blake (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)

Poète, peintre et graveur anglais. Son premier volume de vers au lyrisme intense (Les Esquisses poétiques) parut en 1783. Dans ses recueils 'Chants d'innocence' (1789) et 'Chants d'expérience' (1794) - l'un doux et aérien, l'autre aux accents plus amères - il proclame avec véhémence la supériorité de l'imagination poétique et le pouvoir de l'énergie créatrice, seule susceptible de reconquérir le divin. Ses écrits suivants : 'Le Livre d'Urizen', 'Le Chant de Los' (1795) sont empreints d'un mysticisme obscur. Il illustra la plupart de ses ouvrages.

This   carefully crafted ebook: "America A Prophecy (Illuminated Manuscript   with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your   eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
America a Prophecy is a 1793 prophetic book by English poet and illustrator   William Blake. It is engraved on eighteen plates, and survives in fourteen   known copies. It is the first of Blake's Continental prophecies.
America was one of the few works that Blake describes as "illuminated   printing", those of which were either hand coloured or colour printed   with the ink being placed on the copperplate before printed. Early sketches   for America were also included in his notebook, which Blake used between 1790   and 1793.
