The Society is a set of individuals who love Blake - poet, artist and visionary. Our activites are a union of exegesis and inspiration - we search for the provenance of his imagination and we try to act with creativity and vision.
The Blake Journal, the occasional annual publication of the Blake Society,
seeks submissions for future issues of photography, poetry, articles, fiction,
creative nonfiction and any amorphous form.
Our mission is to explore Blake’s ideas and work in old and new contexts,
transgressing the boundaries of scholarship - itself a mind-forg’d manacle.
If you would like to canvas an idea for a piece with the editors then please
contact either Paige Morgan or Angus Whitehead : journal@blakesociety.org

The Blake Society is delighted to offer a preview of a new cover of William Blake’s “London”, from the Songs of Experience. This arrangement is by local London blues band Sister Mary and the Choirboys; music by Fred Thomas and Ben Moorhouse, vocals by Emine Pirhasan. Sister Mary and the Choirboys play regular gigs at various locations throughout the city. More information available at their website or at their MySpace page.
Many thanks to Sister Mary and the Choirboys for giving the Blake Society permission to stream their music on our website.

Soon we will be launching an open competition to create a new apochryphal story.
Prizes will be original 18C commercial works of Blake.
The story must be untrue - yet more insightful than the ‘Naked’ Butts tale.
