Blake

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is Blake's take on morality, and his satire on organised religions.




Where as the text itself written in poetry and prose in a manner similar to some of his contemporaries, it is the engravings and images he uses to help propel the text along that for me is most interesting part. Here he is using more that one media to tell his story, which would have been very unusal for its time.
