William Blake (1757-1827) was born in London, the son of a Dissenter. In touch with traditions descending from seventeenth-century radical sects, he was on the fringe of a circle of radicals of his own day, including Tom Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft. He learned drawing and engraving, and later became a painter. He married in 1782, published his first poems in 1783, and despite poverty, wrote and illustrated his own works. Songs of Innocence and Experience appeared in 1794.
