In his 'illuminated' books, William Blake combined his handwritten text with his rich illustrations, on pages not seen since the large decorated books of the Middle Ages. The experience of reading Blake's great prophetic poems—such as Jerusalem and Songs of Innocence and Experience—in their cold typographic editions does not compare to seeing and reading them in their own medium, with their wonderful and invigorating colors. This edition, produced in collaboration with the William Blake Trust, includes all the pages of Blake's approximately twenty illuminated books, reproduced in their true size, an appendix with all of Blake's texts in typography, and an introduction by the acclaimed Blake scholar David Bindman.
