>Subject: update from the Blake Archive
The editors of the William Blake Archive
<http://www.iath.virginia.edu/blake/> are pleased to announce the
publication of an electronic edition of _Songs of Innocence and of
Experience_, copy Z. It joins editions of three copies of _The Book of
Thel_ and two copies of _Visions of the Daughters of Albion_. In the
coming week, these works will be joined by _The Marriage of Heaven and
Hell_, copy D, _The Book of Urizen_, copy G, _America, a Prophecy_, copy
E, and _Europe, a Prophecy_, copy B. All of these editions have newly
edited texts and were scanned from 4x5 color transparencies made
specifically for the Archive. They are all fully searchable for both
text and images and are supported by the unique Inote and ImageSizer
applications described in our previous updates.
_Urizen_ copy G and _Songs_ copy Z were produced in Blake's late
printing and coloring styles, c. 1818 and c. 1826 respectively.
_America_ copy E is a monochrome copy from 1793; _Europe_ copy B was
color printed in 1794, and _Marriage_ copy D was produced in 1795 on
large paper and with some rudimentary color printing.
We will be adding second and third copies of most illuminated books in
the coming months, with the goal of having the entire illuminated canon
online later this year. In addition, work continues on the SGML edition
of David V. Erdman's _Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake_,
which we anticipate releasing sometime this spring.
