Complete Works of William Blake. Illustrated: Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, The Four Zoas, Jerusalem, Milton and others

While his contemporaries considered Blake a madman, we now appreciate him as an important figure in the development of romantic and mystical poetry. Blake's poetry is unique from every angle: It possesses a philosophical depth that impacts the reader at a spiritual level. Blake created his own mythological world, which he outlined in his prophetic books. His complex world is inhabited by deities and heroes to whom he gave unusual names: Urizen, Luva, Tarmas, Urton, Los, Enitarmon, Aania, etc. The inspiration for Blake's mythology has many origins, including the Bible, Greek and Roman mythology, Scandinavian Eddas, and treatises by occultists and religious mystics.
