His literary achievements
(2)Songs of Innocence(1789) It is a lovely volume of poems, presenting a happy and innocent world, though not without its evils and sufferings. In this volume, Blake, with his eager quest for new poetic forms and techniques, broke completely with the traditions of the 18th century. He experimented in meter and rhyme and introduced bold metrical innovations which could not be found in the poetry of his contemporaries.
Fierceness and gentleness are contrasting qualities of the human mind.
An imaginative poet
“I know that This World is a World of IMAGINATION﹠Vision.” and that “The Nature of my work is visionary or imaginative.”
﹡ the French Revolution — a necessary stage
leading to the millennium predicted by the biblical prophets.

Historical Background
Politically: the French Revolution
"Declaration of Rights of Man" (1791-2), Thomas Paine
"Inquiry concerning Political Justice" (1793), William Godwin
a tendency to turn or escape from the tumultuous嘈杂的动乱的and confusing society
Characteristics of Romanticism
•Love of Nature: The Romantics greatly emphasized on the importance of nature, and one of the main characteristics of Romanticism in poetry is the beauty of nature found in the country life. This was mainly because the industrial revolution had taken man from the peaceful country life towards the city life, transforming man's natural order. Nature was not only appreciated for its physical beauty by the Romantics, but also for its ability to help the urban man find his true identity.
The Lamb课件
•In the first stanza, the speaker wonders who the lamb's creator is; the answer lies at the end of the poem. Here we find a physical description of the lamb, seen as a pure and gentle creature. •In the second stanza, the lamb is compared with the infant Jesus, as well as between the lamb and the speaker's soul. •In the last two lines the speaker identifies the creator: God.
Analysis
• This poem has complimented the goodness of the creator and finds a source of gentleness, selflessness, and love from the creator . • The use of repetition and parallelism allows for a very predictable and simple presentation ,which is nothing less than intentionally child-like.
• Little Lamb, who made thee? • Dost thou know who made thee? • Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, • Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, • He is called by thy name, • For he calls himself a Lamb. • He is meek, & he is mild; • He became a little child. • I a child, & thou a lamb, • We are called by his name. • Little Lamb, God bless thee! • Little Lamb, God bless thee!

英美文学课件3 The Romantic Period
“And because I am happy & dance & sing They think they have done me no injury, And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King, Who make up a heaven of our misery.”
• Wordsworth and Coleridge were the major representatives of this movement. They explored new theories and innovated mew techniques in poetry writing. Wordsworth’s theory is calling for simple themes drawn from humble life expressed in the language of ordinary people.
The Chimney Sweeper (from Songs of Experience) A little black thing among the snow Crying “’weep! ‘weep!” in notes of woe! “Where are thy father & mother? Say?” “They are both gone up to the church to pray.
• Wordsworth is regarded as a “worshipper of nature.” • “The Sparrow’s Nest” “To a Skylark” • “To the Cuckoo” “To a Butterfly” • “I Wandered lonely as a Cloud” • “An Evening Walk” • “My Heart Leaps up” • “Tintern Abbey”

(2)“ he is called by the name, For he calls himself a lamb”, what’s the meaning of this sentence?
Jesus and lamb. Jesus was crucified during the Feast of the Passover (celebrating the Jews' escape from Egypt) when lambs were slaughtered in the temple at Jerusalem. This was believed to take away the sins of the people who took part in the feast. So when Jesus was killed, for the sins of all people, according to the Christian faith, He came to be called The Lamb of God.

Songs of Innocence and Experience
The Songs of Innocence were published by Blake in 1789, and he produced a combined version of Songs of Innocence and of Experience in 1794. The Songs are now often studied for their literary merit alone, but they were originally produced as illuminated books, engraved, hand-printed, and coloured by Blake himself. The text of the poem and the accompanying illustration formed an integrated whole, each adding meaning to the other.

The Chimney Sweeper is the title of two poems by William Blake, published in Songs of Innocence in 1789 and Songs of Experience in 1794.In the earlier poem, a young chimney sweeper recounts a dream had by one of his fellows, in which an angel rescues the boys from coffins and takes them to a sunny meadow; in the later poem, an apparently adult speaker encounters a child chimney sweeper abandoned in the snow while his parents are at church.
Songs of Innocence : the innocent, pastoral world of childhood ; The Lamb
Songs of experience: an adult world of corruption and repression; The Tyger.
在《天真之歌》中,诗人以“羔羊”为中心意象,组成一个欢乐、 善良、和谐的农业文明图景:牧童吹着欢乐的短笛,歌声荡漾在
青草地上;孩子在荒野中迷了路,上帝就化身为父亲将他送回家
去;小蚂蚁迷了路,萤火虫打着灯笼送它回家;羔羊在吃草,狮 子在羊栏边徘徊了一阵,流下“金色的眼泪”,终于躺下来和它睡 在一起……而在《经验之歌》中,诗人则以“老虎”为中心意象, 展现现一幅正在生长中的痛苦、邪恶、分裂的现代工来文明图景
