The Tyger
"The Tyger" is a poem by the English poet William Blake published in 1794 as part of the ''Songs of Experience'' collection. Literary critic Alfred Kazin calls it "the most famous of his poems,"〔Kazin, 41-43〕 and ''The Cambridge Companion to William Blake'' says it is "the most anthologized poem in English."〔Eaves, pg. 207〕 It is one of Blake's most reinterpreted and arranged works.〔Whitson and Whittaker 63-71〕 ==Background== The ''Songs of Experience'' was published in 1794 as a follow up to Blake's 1789 ''Songs of Innocence.''〔Gilchrist 1907 p. 118〕 The two books were published together under the merged title ''Songs of Innocence and Experience, showing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul: the author and printer, W. Blake''〔 featuring 54 plates. The illustrations are arranged differently in some copies, while a number of poems were moved from ''Songs of Innocence'' to ''Songs of Experience.'' Blake continued to print the work throughout his life.〔Davis 1977 p. 55〕 Of the copies of the original collection, only 28 published during his life are known to exist, with an additional 16 published posthumously.〔Damon 1988 p. 378〕 Only 5 of the poems from ''Songs of Experience'' appeared individually before 1839.〔Bentley 2003 p. 148〕
