The Early Illuminated Books: All Religions Are One/There Is No Natural Religion/the Book of Thel/the Marriage of Heaven and Hell/Visions of the Daug (Blake, William//Blake's Illuminated Books)

The core of William Blake's vision, his greatness as one of the British Romantics, is most fully expressed in his Illuminated Books, masterworks of art and text intertwined and mutually enriching. Made possible by recent advances in printing and reproduction technology, the publication of new editions of Jerusalem and Songs of Innocence and of Experience in 1991 was a major publishing event. Now these two volumes are followed by The Early Illuminated Books and Milton, A Poem. The books in both volumes are reproduced from the best available copies of Blake's originals and in faithfulness and accuracy match the acclaimed standards set by Jerusalem and Songs. These two volumes are uniform in format and binding with the first two volumes. The Early Illuminated Books comprises All Religions Are One and There Is No Natural Religion; Thel; Marriage of Heaven and Hell; and Visions of the Daughters of Albion. Milton, A Poem, second only to Jerusalem in extent and ambition, is accompanied by Laocoon, The Ghost of Abel, and On Homer's Poetry. The Illuminated Books of William Blake will be completed by the publication of a fifth volume, containing six more books, early in 1994.William Blake is the author of 'The Early Illuminated Books: All Religions Are One/There Is No Natural Religion/the Book of Thel/the Marriage of Heaven and Hell/Visions of the Daug (Blake, William//Blake's Illuminated Books)' with ISBN 9780691033877 and ISBN 0691033870.
