Because Blake addresses the theme of generation most directly and fully in his illuminated books‚ it is important to consider here the principles guiding the interpretation of his art. Blake’s illustrations for The Divine Comedy are particularly revealing of Blake’s view of his own art‚ revealing how for him art and text were at all times part of a continuous whole. Several of Blake’s less finished illustrations for Dante’s epic have text written within and around them never intended for inclusion
