	William Blake
		Blake's important cultural and social contacts included Henry Fuseli, Reverend A.S. Mathew and his wife, John Flaxman (1755-1826), a sculptor and draftsman, Tom Paine, William Godwin, and Mrs Elizabeth Montagu (1720-1800), married to the wealthy grandson of the earl of Sandwich.
		Blake hated the effects of the Industrial Revolution in England and looked forward to the establishment of a New Jerusalem "in England's green and pleasant land." Between 1804 and 1818 he produced an edition of his own poem JERUSALEM with 100 engravings.
		Blake never shook off the poverty, in large part due to his inability to compete in the highly competitive field of engraving and his expensive invention that enabled him to design illustrations and print words at the same time.

	William Blake - Biography and Works
		William Blake was born on 28 November, 1757, in London, England, the third son of Catherine née Wright (1723—1792) and James Blake (c.1723—1784) a hosier and haberdasher on Broad Street in Golden Square, Soho.
		Blake was buried in an unmarked grave in the Non-Conformist Bunhill Fields in London where Catherine was buried four years later among other notable figures of dissent like Daniel Defoe and John Bunyan.
		My claim on Blake is that even though he is said to be one of the greatest figures of Romanticism, in reality Blake actually wanted to be misunderstood and tried to sway a reader's and viewer's mind.

	Los, Enitharmon and Orc, William BLAKE - NGV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The First Book of Urizen shares with Blake's other Prophetic Books his central belief that the Creation was a fall from grace which allowed the domination of reason over the poetic imagination.
		The child of their union is Orc who embodies Energy and the spirit of rebellion.
		In this illustration Los is depicted, bound with the chain of his passions, looking jealously at Orc, while Orc looks up lovingly at his mother, Enitharmon.

	William Blake
		"William Blake was a poet, illustrator, engraver, draughtsman, writer and painter whose efforts, due to their idiosyncratic and unorthodox nature, were largely unappreciated in his own lifetime.
		The knowledge Blake gained from working as an engraver enabled him to produce his own work in which he surrounded one of his poems with his own hand-coloured illustration.
		A powerful imagination is evident in every aspect of Blake's work.
