William Blake's sexually charged, gloriously anarchic poems mesmerise modern minds. This new edition of Songs of Innocence and of Experience showcases him at his best, while Nigel Nelson's perceptive introduction offers fresh and surprising insight into the man and his words. Journalist, author and broadcaster Nigel Nelson is a lifelong Blake fan. He works in Parliament as political columnist for the Sunday People, and is Britain's longest serving national newspaper political editor. He has been a columnist for the Church of England Newspaper and reviews theology and medieval history books for Tribune. He has broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 5, was historian David Starkey's weekly sparring partner on Talk Radio, is a regular newspaper reviewer for BBC News and Sky News and was a familiar face on ITV's This Morning.
