Continental prophecies : ウィキペディア英語版 | Continental prophecies
The continental prophecies is a group of illuminated books by William Blake that have been subject of numerous studies due to their recurrent and unorthodox use of political, literary and sexual metaphors.〔Pierce 2003〕 They consist of ''America'', ''Europe'' and ''The Song of Los'' (''Africa'' and ''Asia''). ==Background== Blake's works describing the four continents prophecies are part of his "Lambeth Books", based on their creation at his home in Lambeth, Surrey. Of these works there are ''America a Prophecy'' created in 1793, ''Europe a Prophecy'' created in 1794, and ''The Song of Los'' created in 1795. Like other "Lambeth Books", all aspects of the works, including the composition of the designs, their printing, coloring, and sale, happened at his home.〔Bentley 2003 pp.122-124〕 The pages of the works and images were 23 x 17 cm in size. All three of the works were occasionally bound together as a set.〔Bentley 2003 p. 154〕
