Further
Reading
This web-site is synthesized from various sources. Here is
a topic-based list of the books that were referred to
in creating the site. It should be useful to anyone
wishing to pursue their interest in Blake.
NOTE: The authors would like to acknowledge a very special debt
to three sources in particular, Jerusalem, The Emanation
of the Giant Albion edited by Morton D. Paley, The
Illuminated Blake by David V. Erdman and A Blake
Dictionary by S. Foster Damon. Without these exceptional
works the sections introducing Jerusalem, the
Songs of Innocence and of Experience and Blake's
cast of characters could never have been written.
