This new annotated text contains complete texts of all Blake's best known work: "The Songs of Innocence and Experience", "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", "The Book of Thel", "Visions of the Daughters of Albion", "America", "The Book of Urizen," and "Laocoon". All Blake's significant lyric poems are included, and there are generous selections from "The Four Zoas", "Milton", "Jerusalem" and "The Everlasting Gospel". Each work (including the individual Songs) has an introduction describing a range of critical opinion. The annotation; the most detailed of any single-volume of Blake; glosses difficult terms, provides information on Blake's intellectual and poetic sources and his historical contexts and discusses all aspects of contemporary Blake scholarship.
