Songs of innocence
Book • 1789
Published in two parts, 'Songs of Innocence' in 1789 and 'Songs of Experience' in 1794, this work is a masterpiece of English lyric poetry.
Blake uses his unique technique of 'illuminated printing' to combine text and hand-coloured illustrations.
The poems explore the transformation from childhood innocence to adult experience, critiquing societal norms, institutionalized religion, and the effects of corruption on human nature.
The collection is known for its simple yet direct language, complex ideas, and use of traditional meters and symbolism.
