The Book of Los
''The Book of Los'' is a 1795 prophetic book by the English poet and painter William Blake. It exists in only one copy, now held by The British Museum. The book is related to the ''Book of Urizen'' and to the ''Continental prophecies''; it is essentially a retelling of ''Urizen'' from the point of view of Los.〔 The book has been described as a rewriting of the ancient myth of creation that equates Fall with the loss of spiritual vision brought about by selfhood.〔John Howard, ''Infernal poetics: poetic structures in Blake's Lambeth prophecies'', (Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1984), ISBN 0-8386-3176-2 Page 10〕〔Saree Makdisi, ''William Blake and the impossible history of the 1790s'', (University of Chicago Press, 2003), ISBN 0-226-50259-7 Page 13〕
==Background==
During autumn 1790, Blake moved to Lambeth, Surrey. He had a studio at the new house that he used while writing what were later called his "Lambeth Books", which included ''The Book of Los'' in 1795. Like the others under the title, all aspects of the work, including the composition of the designs, the printing of them, the colouring of them, and the selling of them, happened at his home.〔Bentley 2003 pp. 122-124〕 ''The Book of Los'' was one of the few works that Blake describes as "illuminated printing", one of his colour printed works with the coloured ink being placed on the copperplate before being printed.〔Bentley 2003 pp. 149〕
Both ''The Book of Los'' and ''The Book of Ahania'' were the same size, produced at the same time, and were probably etched on opposing sides of the same copper-plates. Both works were the only ones by Blake to have intaglio etchings instead of relief etchings.〔Bentley 2003 p. 156〕 Likewise, both works were colour-printed, where the various coloured inks were directly applied to the etching instead of added in later.〔Bentley 2003 p. 158〕
