William Blake, an English poet, painter, and printmaker, wrote a sequence of poems titled "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" that mimicked biblical prophesy. Blake, who was mostly ignored during his lifetime, is now regarded as a key influence in the development of Romantic-era poetry and visual art. Blake's deeply held Romantic and revolutionary views are expressed throughout the text.
The theme for the work, which Blake borrowed from Milton's Paradise Lost and Dantes's Inferno, is the narrator's trip to Hell. The entire book is written in prose, with the exception of the Song of Liberty and the Introductory Argument.
