The Book of Thel information


William Blake: The Book of Thel, copy O, plate 1. Copy O, in the collection of the Library of Congress, is one of the two 1815-18 printings of Thel; the other is Copy N, in the collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum.[1]

The Book of Thel is a poem by William Blake, dated 1789 and probably composed in the period 1788 to 1790. It is illustrated by his own plates, and compared to his later prophetic books is relatively short and easier to understand. The metre is a fourteen-syllable line. It was preceded by Tiriel, which Blake left in manuscript. A few lines from Tiriel were incorporated into The Book of Thel. Most of the poem is in unrhymed verse.

This book consists of eight plates executed in illuminated printing. Sixteen copies of the original print of 1789–1793 are known. Three copies bearing a watermark of 1815 are more elaborately colored than the others.
