One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake (1757-1827) was an artist, poet, mystic and visionary. His work ranges from the deceptively simple and lyrical Songs of Innocence and their counterpoint Experience - which juxtapose poems such as 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger', and 'The Blossom' and 'The Sick Rose' - to highly elaborate, apocalyptic works, such as The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem. Throughout his life Blake drew on a rich heritage of philosophy, religion and myth, to create a poetic worlds illuminated by his spiritual and revolutionary beliefs that have fascinated, intrigued and enchanted readers for generations.

Influenced by the visionary imagination of William Blake and the characters he created in The Four Zoas and Jerusalem, The Liberation of Albion is both a theogony, creation myth and tale of spiritual development. An epic poem that both engages with the past and exists firmly within modernity, the story follows the grand-man Albion and the grand-woman Jerusalem, as their lives are touched by fate and they find themselves embroiled in the desires and whims of the gods. When Albion is chained, bound, and laid low, Jerusalem is left to face the world alone. The Liberation of Albion seeks to reignite the imagination of modernity and reveal once more the intricate links between narrative, meaning, truth and beauty.

»Der Mensch hat keinen von der Seele verschiedenen Leib, denn das Leib Genannte ist ein Gewende der Seele, aus dem Ganzen gelöst kraft der fünf Sinne, welche die Wirkstellen der Seele in unserer Ewe sind.« - Die Übertragung entstand in den Tagen vom 26. Dezember 2002 bis 2. Januar 2003, in engem Zusammenhang mit Timo Köllings zweitem Gedichtbuch »Versuch eines Winters«. Im Frühjahr 2003 erschienen 75 Exemplare in einer handgefertigten Privatauflage; eine öffentliche Ausgabe hat es bisher nicht gegeben. Es handelt sich um den Versuch eines 24-Jährigen, in deutscher Sprache sowohl die Bildlichkeit als auch die Begrifflichkeit von Blakes 1789/90 entstandener philosophischer Dichtung angemessen wiederzugeben; auf diese Weise wurde die Übertragung zur Nachdichtung. Der Text von 2002/03 wurde im Mai 2016 und im Januar 2019 korrigiert und leicht bearbeitet. Wie eng sich der Gehalt von Blakes Dichtung mit dem zwischenzeitlich veröffentlichten Fragment »Die Waage im Ungrund« - ebenfalls aus dem Jahr 2003 - berührt, wird dem einen oder anderen Leser nicht entgehen.

This volume includes an essential selection of Blake's poetry, from the lesser-known Poetical Sketches to his celebrated Songs of Innocence and of Experience and the "prophetic works" inspired by the French Revolution.
