Overview

A comprehensive analysis of the collection of poems in William Blake's "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience."

Description


Providence eLearning English Professor William Lasseter analyzes William Blake’s "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience" along with several additional poems and paintings. Published first in 1789, Songs of Innocence revealed one half of a two part thesis by Blake on the state of human perception. Blake saw the world as composed of two contrary and complementary states, calling them respectively “Innocence” and “Experience”. "Songs of Experience" was bound together with "Songs of Innocence" and printed in 1794. In it Blake sets forth the second part of his two part thesis on human perception.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
