THE COMPLETE ILLUMINATED BOOKS
IN HIS Illuminated' books, as he called them, William Blake combined
text and image in a single page in a way that had not been done since the
Middle Ages. He saw religion and politics, intellect and emotion, mind
and body as both unified and in conflict with each other: his work
is expressive of his personal mythology, and his methods
of conveying it were integral to its meaning
To read books such as Jerusalem, America, and Songs of Innocence and of
Experience in cold letterpress bears no comparison with seeing them as
Blake conceived them, infused with his sublime and exhilarating colours
At times tiny figures and forms dance among the lines of the text, flames
appear to burn up the page, and dense passages of Biblical-sounding
text are brought to a jarring halt by startling images of death,
destruction and liberation.
Original copies of the books exist only in minute numbers. Each is
different. Now the plates from The William Blake Trust's Collected
Edition, reproducing a fine example of each book, are brought
together in a single volume, with transcripts of the texts, and an
introduction by the noted Blake scholar David Bindman.
They can at last become part of the lives of all
lovers of art and poetry.
