Blake's Mythology

[Ilyich]

This William Blake I keep hearing so much about seems very interesting. I've been thinking about reading into his mythology, not for any important purpose though. Where should I begin?

Errm, why do you want to? The best place to start with Blake I think is probably his more 'normal' poetry.

Or, 'America a Prophecy' and 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' might give you some pointers as to the whacky stuff.

Several standard 'Selected Works' are available (from Amazon etc, or if you're lucky a local 2nd-hand bookshop), they usually contain some of the more prophetic pieces.
