- William Blake (1757-1827): Poet, Artist & Engraver.
- This Helpfile is designed to introduce some of the major works by William Blake (1757-1827). Blake is one of the major Romantic poets, whose verse and artwork became part of the wider movement of Romanticism in late Eighteenth and early Nineteenth century European Culture. ... For the nineteenth century reader Blake's work posed a single question: was he sane or mad? The poet Wordsworth, for example, commented that there "is no doubt that this poor man was mad, but there is something in his madness which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron and Walter Scott" and John Ruskin similarly felt that Blake's work was "diseased and wild", even if his mind was "great and wise". ... Yeats's three volume edition of his works, Blake has been recognised as a highly original and important poet, artist and writer, and as a member of an enduring tradition of visionary artists and philosophers, an individualist, a libertarian, and an uncompromising critic of orthodoxy and authoritarianism. ...
- Blake's work can be difficult at times, mainly because the reader is offered Blake's visions in Blake's own terms. Blake draws on a highly powerful, but essentially personal, mythological system of his own devising, but one that also draws on a variety of mythological, poetic and philosophical sources. On this, Blake himself remarked that he had to "create a System, or be enslav'd by another Man's. " In part also, what Blake seeks to express can only be presented in terms of vague abstractions and allusions, with a cosmic perspective on issues of faith, religion, philosophy and belief, and this must also mean that the reader has to work hard. ... Blake is a revolutionary and visionary artist and poet, and his work represented a decisively new direction in the course of English Poetry and the Visual Arts.
- Blake's works range from the deceptively simple and lyrical style of the Songs of Innocence and Experience, through speculative works such as The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, to the highly elaborate visionary and apocalyptic style of America, The Four Zoas, Milton and The Book of Urizen. ... There are also brief accounts of 'Blake's Life and Times', 'Blake the Artist', 'Blake and English Poetry', and on 'Blake's Thought'. ...

- The Blake Multimedia Project.
- The Blake Multimedia Project is an approach to studying and teaching the works of William Blake using the tools of computer technology. Though he lived two hundred years ago, Blake himself was a multimedia artist whose work combined verbal and visual expression with technological innovation. Blake's work is difficult to access because accurate color reproductions of the hundreds of illuminated plates he printed are rare and expensive and because deciphering their verbal and visual codes requires a large scholarly apparatus. The Blake Multimedia Project addresses these difficulties with a hypertext interactive edition that displays the plates on a monitor or projects them on a screen. ...
