The Poetry of William Blake by Michael Ferber
This study concentrates on Blake's "Songs of Innocence and Experience" and explores their social and historical background before briefly discussing his longer poetry. It then examines Blake's Englishness and how successive generations have interpreted "Jerusalem" to suit their particular ideology.
