The Angel (Songs Of Experience)
"The Angel" is a poem written by the English poet William Blake. It was published as part of his collection ''Songs of Experience'' in 1794. Blake republished Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience several times, often changing the number and order of the plates. In Songs of Experience (With Illuminated Manuscript) published by Musaicum Books, “The Angel” is Plate 13. A two-page manuscript The Order in which the Songs of Innocence & of Experience Ought to be Paged & Placed thought to be composed by Blake in 1821 depicts “The Angel” as Plate 43 in only Copy V of Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. It is speculated Blake wrote this manuscript as a guide for arranging the plates of the Songs, using that sequence only in one copy, rejecting the arrangement in all later copies, and then using it as a check-sheet to record available impressions of his plates for Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience.

William Blake
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake has become a seminal figure in the history of the Romantic poetry, poetry and visual art of the Romanticism, Romantic Age. What he called his "William Blake's prophetic books, prophetic works" were said by 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language". While he lived in London his entire life, except for three years spent in Felpham, he produced a diverse and symbolically rich collection of works, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God", or "human existence itself". Although Blake was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, he came to be highly regarded by later critics and readers for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work. His paintings and poetry have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Songs Of Experience
''Songs of Innocence and of Experience'' is a collection of illustrated poems by William Blake. Originally, Blake illuminated and bound ''Songs of Innocence'' and ''Songs of Experience'' separately. It was only in 1794 that Blake combined the two sets of poems into a volume titled ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul''. Even after beginning to print the poems together, Blake continued to produce individual volumes for each of the two sets of poetry. Blake was also a painter before the creation of ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience'' and he engraved, hand-printed, and colored detailed art to accompany each of the poems in ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience''. This unique art helps tell the story of each poem, and was part of Blake's original vision for how each poem should be understood. Blake was heavily inspired by children's literature and juvenile education in his creation of ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience'', ...
