INTRODUCTION
Our appeal to the figure of one of the most mysterious and little-studied great poets of Britain in Russia is not accidental at all - it is the modern postmodern tradition that once again turns to Blake's legacy and discovers its new sides and providences.
The most complex and distinctive artist, whose identity escaped his contemporaries and today remains not fully discovered, first began to be studied by Gabriel Rossetti in the 50s of the XIX century as an engraver, then Alexander Gilchrist Algernon Swinburne wrote about him Суинберн, who published an enthusiastic book about the poet in 1868.
In the USSR, only in the late 1950s, when the entire world cultural community celebrated the bicentennial of Blake's birth, domestic enthusiasts and connoisseurs of Blake's work managed to attract attention to the talented poet and artist.
On this "anniversary" wave, Blake's translations made by S. Marshak, who throughout his life showed an interest in the poetry of an extraordinary author, became widely known. A complete scientific study by the art critic E. A. Nekrasova, "The Work of W. Blake", appeared only in 1962. In those years, the authors were forced to interpret his poetry in accordance with the strict ideological requirements of the era. Later, in the 80s of the twentieth century, Zverev's works were published, and in the 2000s, translations by V. Chukhno, V. Serdechnaya, and G. Tokareva were published. It is the works of V. Serdechnaya that are currently the most complete attempt to study the Blakian heritage, the "blakians".
The author-researcher tries to understand the origins of Blake's "new worlds", to find biblical traditions in his works, and the researcher G. Tokareva tries to imagine how much Blake's work evolved from romanticism to mystical prophecy.
We will try to study Blake's work as an integral artistic system, unique in its structure and specifics, while touching only on the" Songs of Ignorance (Innocence) and Experience "and" Prophetic Songs " of the author.
