Discover the Two Halves of a Whole
This volume presents Blake’s complementary masterpieces together as he intended. Journey through the Songs of Innocence, where verses bloom with the naive hope, joy, and wonder of childhood, seen through the eyes of lambs, children, and happy parents. Then, confront the sobering counterpoints in the Songs of Experience, which grapple with the harsh realities of society, corruption, and the loss of innocence, giving voice to a deeper, more disillusioned wisdom.
