It appeared in two phases. A few first copies were printed and illuminated by William Blake himself in 1789; five years later he bound these poems with a set of new poems in a volume titled Songs of Innocence and of Experience Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul. William Blake was also a painter before the songs of innocence and experience and made paintings such as Oberon, Titania, and Puck dancing with fairies. \"Innocence\" and \"Experience\" are definitions of consciousness that rethink Milton's existential-mythic states of \"Paradise\" and \"Fall\". Blake's categorizes our modes of perception that tend to coordinate with a chronology that would become standard in Romanticism: childhood is a state of protected innocence rather than original sin, but not immune to the fallen world and its institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1720590885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781720590880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.19d","brand":"William Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058384597247,"sku":"9781720590880","price":14.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0ae6905-4aaa-4a50-a7f1-7d9b9840b113.jpg?v=1685052247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-blakes-songs-of-innocence-william-blake-9781720590880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
