A-level Student Guide
-
Blake is not praising innocence
and damming experience, it is more complicated than that.
- ‘Unorganised innocence, an
impossibility’ Blake wrote in one the margins in his later poems. Innocence
dwells with wisdom but never with ignorance.
-
Innocence cannot exist without
experience
-
I am expected to know about Blake’s
beliefs and the context of when innocence and experience were written.
Blake’s images and drawings also
play a huge part in the understanding of his poetry (do not leave this out!)
