| | King James Version of the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The works of famous authors such as John Milton, Herman Melville, John Dryden, and William Wordsworth are replete with inspiration derived from the King James Version. |
 | | The term King James Version (KJV) is more commonly used in the USA, whilst the term Authorized Version (AV) is more commonly used in the UK, although both terms are generally understood to mean the same book. |
 | | John Keats described "the sad heart of Ruth, / when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn." The poetry of William Blake was also greatly influenced by the language and imagery of the King James Bible, a famous example being The Lamb from his Songs of Innocence. |
