for research students and interested Blake readers...............those who want Blake's The Four Zoas or Jerusalem explained in detail.......those who want to understand the structure explained and the symbolic meaning of Jerusalem and The Four Zoas analysed......those who want Blake's myth, story and characters explained and set in narrative context...........those who want to see as Blake saw.........that means in terms of Blake's four-fold, three-fold, two-fold and one-fold vision, narrative points of view, dramatic tension and use of irony and perception of tragic fall and redemption
I have re-introduced the search lines to the front of the blog. the first point i'd like to make is that the Plates can be individually called up.

William Blake's Jerusalem Explained proof is copy edited and proof-read. the qualities of concentration, persistence, attention to detail, eye for any lumpiness of phrasing, editing out weak presentation of argument and research findings, and elevating poor English....... all talents were shown to me by my consultant copy editor. the book is noted on Amazon though not yet for sale through Amazon Books....after this proof copy is edited the process goes to e-marketing........... as it is, William Blake's Jerusalem Explained can be ordered by direct e-mail.
print on demand editing consultancy is a seriously enjoyable process with a good copy editor. colour specialist too.....layout and cover design needs a copy editor that is a fine art trained specialist colour theorist...and the IT editing skills...this time around i'll not be using colour................ but i'm thinking of a coloured plates edition with commentary sometime down the line, chiefly to produce a beautiful book............
......... for print on demand books, especially if there is colour involved, a top consultant like The William Blake Press is essential to produce a good book.....i might add my editor doesn't read my blog....too many mistakes......but I have learned a book is much harder to copy edit than a thesis....whether writing one or supervising or examining one........
.........watching the copy editor working is instructive....normally there is physical distance between writer and book or thesis......we don't tend to watch a proof-reader for a couple of hours for example. i've learned a lot from my editor while she creates a book.

early december............. back to thinking about Blake. print on demand and editing thoughts follow...........this is signification and the semiology of writing. the technical is interfused with the drafting and redrafting casting the elements and recasting.....editing for the book to be there...... the product. the art.
two points to this blog...
first....... William Blake's Jerusalem Explained is being printed as I write...which satisfies me after many years of analysis. To take the process through the stages up to the book on Amazon has been a long process and echoes the technological isolation William and Catherine Blake found in taking everything through to the end. and in the end we have a single work of art we call the printed coloured copy. I have always wondered why Blake did not print more copies once the plates were cut. i hear the poverty argument, he was too poor and the expense.... but i wonder still at the uniqueness of his aesthetic focus. one unique work of art is the residue of failure to communicate. who then..... even now has worked out Blake?

i've made revisions throughout....one area needing on-going adaptation is the self-contradictory phrase called 'pre-history'. professional scholarly understandings of the important findings of stone circles and the indigenous ante-druidic culture are evolving quickly .....i had one of many thoughts turning through the photographic records.
why aren't the rocks and engravings protected? protected from decay....
one looks at the extraordinary number of stone/wood circles/standing stones, hills, graves and chambers and the like now found and still counting across europe and the meditterean, and roughly calculate the hours of labour and the logistics of supply, food, hygene and shelter, and noting the labour that was used was that left after survival 'work', and consider the infra structure of support, there seems little depth in the stereotypical claim for a scattered small population of hunter/gatherers. all waiting for cuniform, slavery and the pyramids, rome and the world wide empire.
These romano centered/mediterreanean centered histories are flat-earth, elite god priest/king divinities......the first reformation seemed to be islam...and the absolute finish of the roman empire....add gaul and britain (occupied by the celts 600-400 bce) and that's it...........basque celts under red-haired isabella stops islam as the saxon/polis euros stopped them in north.........pontfex maximus colonised s. america for the human bbq....islam into afganistan, pakistan and india.....
there was a richly subtle international culture for millenia before the relatively recent cuniform cultures .....boats marshes corn cultivated, weaving, jewelry, medicines and drugs, permanent highly effective, complex astronomically based calandars and stellar knowledge, stone houses and long term oak buildings and food available to the skilled indigenous population including the beaker people and pottery and metals.
....the ill-cut animal skins and shapeless uncut hair of 'our ancestors' seems ludicrous parodies...how many hides did one cure to make even a few clothes? the thrown bearskin over the shoulders and waving animal taisl on the grunting straggling wanderers are like cartoons.......see rudgley at oxford
......however with cuniform, stone, not much timber and immortality-driven-tomb builders seemed to come institutionalised slavery. .....or enforced labour......in the east.... chin took out 700,000 odd workers from the whole population for a generation to build his 'magic tomb'...........immortality became limited to a human life...for everandeverandever. then the patriarchy
henges, pyramids....greece...rome...mediterranean theocracies and despotism..... all about a few lights in the sky and time deemed holy. pyschoses of holiness. the crucifixion ended god-as-time......bearing in mind the idea of a beginning is a recent idea.........no year '0' or year '1' in non-masoritic theologies......the ideas of the world starting in a year (solar/lunar and both....with intercalations and animals and people being killed to ensure the stars will turn, the eclipses will come to and end, and of course that God started it all 4-5000 years ago. Blake's represents all this at the end of Chapter 3.....for Blake, Christ breaks through all of the determined 28 heavens of serial time and utterly transforms two-fold vision and the ideas of time, ideas of power, control of procreation and human breeding stock, and ideas of economic control.....thus Blake's sociology describes two-fold perceptual being as deficient structures of priests, kings, petty officials (tax collectors), warriors, slave labour, prostituted females and sacrificed children. his vision sees with three-fold vision. Christ is four-fold vision.
the celts and saxons were not the circle builders.........there is a lot of archeology yet to come. middle east is really interesting....circle builders built right there all over jordan and israel sryia etc. evidence is stones by the thousand...2000-5000 bce...indigenous,
coming 'later' is cuniform in west.......... and hierogliphic in east........ sets indigenous humans in an 'unexamined well' or 'pre-history'....which methodologically is a self-contradiction to archeology
finishing the last tweaks to William Blake's Jerusalem Explained.....the solutions found by my copy editor at The William Blake Press: Cambridge essential. nothing done without Rhonda ........in fact she's formatted the book. huge effort.
i'm tying it to The International Society of Human Rights at the United Nations. blake a key figure in literature and art in the great tradition of enhancing our spiritual articulations in practical living and human justice.

review of the blog oct 07
this is an evolving blog....it is continually revised and freshed, .......while detailed and scholarly at times. e-mails to me frequently let me know it is found to be very readable.
there are different sections in it....i'll review them in three main groups for ease of reading:
1...... i list over 90 search lines from Google in which this web site is listed number one or on page one. the site list as strongly in Yahoo and other search engines too.
2..... there are three sections dealing with Blake's crafted and consistant 'narrative points of view': namely his 'within' and 'without' myth; his use of finite and infinite geography; and embedded in his text, his two-fold, three-fold and four-fold vision. in context these are original to the field.
3......i deal vigorously and precisely with Blake's two Night(s) the Seventh, and shown how they are reconciled....i compare this to music.....in an analogy just as two speaker give two sides of a musical arrangement, different in the instruments and musical task, that together create a third, fully harmonised, whole in the mind of the listener, so too did Blake consciously reconcile the two Night(s) the Seventh.
this hypothesis in context is original throughout the textual analysis per se, and, till this site was published seemed unknown by all scholars who have completed later full scale studies of The Four Zoas. this study is in fact the first full-scale study and remains original throughout.
4......i deal in some detail with Blake's anglo-celtic christian myth, especially Joseph of Arimathea.....in Blake's Chapter 3, To The Jews, in his Jerusalem...... this study is paleographic, historical, archeological, and theological....in it i call upon some modern research on the Dead Sea scrolls.

PUBLICATIONS
My book........ William Blake's Jerusalem Explained will be printed soon........print on demand.....it is important to me that this individual process completes the first full line-by-line analysis of Jerusalem....which like the line-by-line study of The Four Zoas, has no footnotes throughout the analysis per se, for as the PhD committee confirmed about The Four Zoas, it is original throughout; i have updated the standard doctoral opening of the 'survey of the field' for The Four Zoas thus the academic context is fresh. the content as peer-reviewed is as original throughout as it has been first draft 1981 and final award of PhD 1984.....taking into account i remind myself, i started 1970...... like my doctoral research, William Blake's Jerusalem Explained is original throughout the analysis per se, yet as always, embedded in the work of others.
for interest, further, the first translation of Jerusalem into brazilian portugese is currently completed and will be printed in brazil being translated by Saulo Alencastre ............ i was invited to write an introduction. i was surprised when Saulo let me know some of the existing translations of Blake into portugese:
Manuel Portela.......
Sete Livron Illuminados (Seven Illuminated Books): namely
All Religions Are One
There is No Natural Religion
The Book of Thel
America
Europe
The Book of Los
The Song of Los
Jose Antonio Arentes.........................
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
The Book of Thel
Saulo writes to tell me of a publishing house, Antigona:
Songs of Innocence
Island on the Moon
Pickering Manuscript
further Saulo recalls at least four translations of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, two of The Songs and two short poem selections.
His translation of Blake's massive epic Jerusalem to my mind is an extraordinary visionary journey and a significant contribution indeed.

here are a series of possible research paths. for context, the site....thefourzoas.com....is ranked on page 1 of Google. the site is also on the first page of virtually all other search engine rankings too, it is also on page 2 or 3 on many other angles of search process that are not pointed to below. it makes sense to walk through the alternative paths and idea resources therein.

for individual Plates, the search line is 'blake's jerusalem chapter 1 (or 2 3 4)' then the plate number. also little details...eg. adding william, or an apostrophe, or using capitals rather than lower case, such as i use frequently...... gives different search lines.
a Google identity is an electronic reality......the net and blake's electronic identity within it is one of the immediate pedogogically practical critical challenges in the field of teaching blake; and i'm not alone in finding the William Blake Archive outstanding in the scope of its contribution.....it helps liberate the field of blake's massive works of literature and art and, following barthes, to give an foundation for seeing the almost infinite critical connective possibilities.....
one 'webfact/search engine fact' is that each Plate in Jerusalem is a mini-field with its own critically identifiable tradition of and for the Plate....Plate 78 is an excellent example, it displays a man with the bird's head and currently has 90400 entries. each Plate has, say, approx 80000-120000 entries, give or take a few thousand. That is some 10,000,000 entries for the 100 Plates as a whole, give or take a few 'irrelevant' million. As noted, the site i have here....www.thefourzoas.com.....rates page 1 , often number 1, on Google on virtually every Plate search and on many varients of Blake's The Four Zoas...... or Blake's Jerusalem......search line. being a technical and scholarly site such consistent interest shows a level of literacy of which the past and present existing educators of Blake have developed.
shifting fields and interests to philosophy of religion and the dead sea scrolls, my lecturing regularly but briefly visited Blake. now my years of research can now be gathered into an electronic whole, and, 'Blake' as a expanding whole thereby visible to a very large community who appreciate blake. my site has had 1,5000,000 odd hits......800-1000 and, harmoniously, 80-100 odd daily visits from 2003-2007......my point being, despite being significant net identities, all sites are in context tiny sites within the field of Blake, which is very large; thus the search lines.
such lines help enhance their sense of finding freshness. for me it is unlike research in texts or articles.........i'm in full support of the university secular tradition of the pursuit of truth, so that managing a grasp of the field as a whole is the responsibility of the professionals who 'police' the standards of the education market (following foucault here); and i see the aim of a doctorate is to achieve sufficient mastery of the field as a whole to make a significant contribution, in order that a philosophical position is achievable. hence my view of the search lines, sites and print.
were i to be teaching/lecturing/seminars/thesis supervision et al still, i 'd offer specific search strings to help students manage research on so vast a system as that of Blake's work on the net. very soon they would be on their own and a develop a personalised collection resource unique to each and to a collective resource. the 'book, book, book' approach is the usual student journey and justly so, thus the familiar course outline with bibliography: required texts, and selected reading and sites.....(and i think also search lines) for the course.
simply put, as stated irrefutably, the changed paradigm of the book is with us now. for educators, this is especially challenging when dyslexia and the like is taken into account. many dyslexics need computer visual alternatives to serial letter/number sequences. my son suggests japan has no significant national 'dyslexic problem' perhaps because their's is a hieroglyphic interconnected totality of concept. the ideogram (rather than the serial) up-and-down-floating-side-to-side-symbols-grasp-it-as-a-whole-seeing of the 'dyslexic' conceptualises the hieroglyphic as a whole. so i don't think just adding a web sites gives enough purposeful strength to research visualisations, there should be search lines provided and explained..............
these strings to me spiral out from the normalised information transmitting-and-processing knowledge pursuit lines. the net makes it possible to lateralise the imagination in new ways. for examples, three scholars broglio, baulch and whitson, write up intersesting IT and MOOspace courses. they are three fresh 'thinkers and teachers' of Blake, and their ideas offer fresh possibilities of time space connectivities, causality logic, multiplex levels, synchronicities and the like ....and so, careers, for research students. They take some finding on the web, its the critical line that steers the research links. again, take bentley's biography, essential reading and an exemplar of formal scholarship, it seems to be in a marketing cycle outside of easy net access, which to the now retired/outsider is a pity. i offer my work free.....as well as in a book.
i find most strings give the 'bookseller deals of the justly established few' early....such as the amazon book lots....then the 'journal/article regulars', such as JSTOR . Together, that helps give the serious student the formal state of the field. for me, very much a traditionalist textual critic, bearing in mind how few pages of anything any student has the time to read, quality of what is read, and what is heard, and what is noted, is everything. the pursuit of truth...the 'is it true', as connor at birkbeck wrote, is now 'what is it worth'
'cost analysis of per hour cost of student time' is what a student now pays, and pays out every hour over the course of as a whole. so the question of how much does it cost the student per hour to follow the teacher's learning path is the cost of the journey. it has to worth the price paid by the young. the now de facto legislated debt. buy post-secondary qualifications from educational privatism, and pay interest that is universally known to be 'overseas owned' in every country tax-havened heaven, and untaxed is lent back for a double-legislated profit (see july 10th..... evidence on 'equity' before the Commons Committee)..........for, if the young don't buy qualifications, they will lack proper future employment, pensions, housing or welfare.
for me, they are like buffalos driven over a cliff, the young are thereby legislated into debt..... now the old are emptied too, and their homes will not be passed on to heirs, but legally absorbed into legislated privatised 'care' in what many think is 'economic euthanisia'. the young and the old have been disinherited by the last PM's private equity, tax-avoidance, meta-rich 'party bungs' for election advertising for Parliament...that is now de facto privatised......this seems to me to be a 21st cent primitive backwards collapse into an equivalence to some medieval 'Morton's Fork' of tax recidivism.
like the 'ancien regime' (i.e. a tribunal, the person dragged before it, answers a few questions dragged out and judgement passed). just as in the 'market forces' of the 18th cent, there seems to be an uncontrolled abuse of slave/de facto slave labour (e.g. parts of china, india, africa)..... and the gutting of nature like never before in history. these political/economic views are mine, though i find them pretty generally shared. by contrast, Blake's vision expands ever outward and ever inward....and as with all great art, it heals.
thus, i see it like this: ......thefourzoas.com......has no monetary value, it is a scholar's site and runs at a loss; there is no money, or 'employment advantages' in this site and it is a very demanding 'read'. viewed in this angle of vision, its network search strings are lines of ideas, research possibilities, self-enhancement and the willing, mutual enhancement of others. it is dogmatic fact (e.g. coffey, stanilaoe) that we live our life through others, and that the pursuit of great wealth and power alike are based on lack of faith. here we have Blake's mythic and artistic confirmation of these dogmatic absolutes.
here are a series of possible research paths. for context, the site....thefourzoas.com....is ranked on page 1 of Google. the site is also on the first page of virtually all other search engine rankings too, it is also on page 2 or 3 on many other angles of search process that are not pointed to below. it makes sense to walk through the alternative paths and idea resources therein.

for individual Plates, the search line is 'blake's jerusalem chapter 1 (or 2 3 4)' then the plate number. also little details...eg. adding william, or an apostrophe, or using capitals rather than lower case, such as i use frequently...... gives different search lines.
a Google identity is an electronic reality......the net and blake's electronic identity within it is one of the immediate pedogogically practical critical challenges in the field of teaching blake; and i'm not alone in finding the William Blake Archive outstanding in the scope of its contribution.....it helps liberate the field of blake's massive works of literature and art and, following barthes, to give an foundation for seeing the almost infinite critical connective possibilities.....
one 'webfact/search engine fact' is that each Plate in Jerusalem is a mini-field with its own critically identifiable tradition of and for the Plate....Plate 78 is an excellent example, it displays a man with the bird's head and currently has 90400 entries. each Plate has, say, approx 80000-120000 entries, give or take a few thousand. That is some 10,000,000 entries for the 100 Plates as a whole, give or take a few 'irrelevant' million. As noted, the site i have here....www.thefourzoas.com.....rates page 1 , often number 1, on Google on virtually every Plate search and on many varients of Blake's The Four Zoas...... or Blake's Jerusalem......search line. being a technical and scholarly site such consistent interest shows a level of literacy of which the past and present existing educators of Blake have developed.
shifting fields and interests to philosophy of religion and the dead sea scrolls, my lecturing regularly but briefly visited Blake. now my years of research can now be gathered into an electronic whole, and, 'Blake' as a expanding whole thereby visible to a very large community who appreciate blake. my site has had 1,5000,000 odd hits......800-1000 and, harmoniously, 80-100 odd daily visits from 2003-2007......my point being, despite being significant net identities, all sites are in context tiny sites within the field of Blake, which is very large; thus the search lines.
such lines help enhance their sense of finding freshness. for me it is unlike research in texts or articles.........i'm in full support of the university secular tradition of the pursuit of truth, so that managing a grasp of the field as a whole is the responsibility of the professionals who 'police' the standards of the education market (following foucault here); and i see the aim of a doctorate is to achieve sufficient mastery of the field as a whole to make a significant contribution, in order that a philosophical position is achievable. hence my view of the search lines, sites and print.
were i to be teaching/lecturing/seminars/thesis supervision et al still, i 'd offer specific search strings to help students manage research on so vast a system as that of Blake's work on the net. very soon they would be on their own and a develop a personalised collection resource unique to each and to a collective resource. the 'book, book, book' approach is the usual student journey and justly so, thus the familiar course outline with bibliography: required texts, and selected reading and sites.....(and i think also search lines) for the course.
simply put, as stated irrefutably, the changed paradigm of the book is with us now. for educators, this is especially challenging when dyslexia and the like is taken into account. many dyslexics need computer visual alternatives to serial letter/number sequences. my son suggests japan has no significant national 'dyslexic problem' perhaps because their's is a hieroglyphic interconnected totality of concept. the ideogram (rather than the serial) up-and-down-floating-side-to-side-symbols-grasp-it-as-a-whole-seeing of the 'dyslexic' conceptualises the hieroglyphic as a whole. so i don't think just adding a web sites gives enough purposeful strength to research visualisations, there should be search lines provided and explained..............
these strings to me spiral out from the normalised information transmitting-and-processing knowledge pursuit lines. the net makes it possible to lateralise the imagination in new ways. for examples, three scholars broglio, baulch and whitson, write up intersesting IT and MOOspace courses. they are three fresh 'thinkers and teachers' of Blake, and their ideas offer fresh possibilities of time space connectivities, causality logic, multiplex levels, synchronicities and the like ....and so, careers, for research students. They take some finding on the web, its the critical line that steers the research links. again, take bentley's biography, essential reading and an exemplar of formal scholarship, it seems to be in a marketing cycle outside of easy net access, which to the now retired/outsider is a pity. i offer my work free.....as well as in a book.
i find most strings give the 'bookseller deals of the justly established few' early....such as the amazon book lots....then the 'journal/article regulars', such as JSTOR . Together, that helps give the serious student the formal state of the field. for me, very much a traditionalist textual critic, bearing in mind how few pages of anything any student has the time to read, quality of what is read, and what is heard, and what is noted, is everything. the pursuit of truth...the 'is it true', as connor at birkbeck wrote, is now 'what is it worth'
'cost analysis of per hour cost of student time' is what a student now pays, and pays out every hour over the course of as a whole. so the question of how much does it cost the student per hour to follow the teacher's learning path is the cost of the journey. it has to worth the price paid by the young. the now de facto legislated debt. buy post-secondary qualifications from educational privatism, and pay interest that is universally known to be 'overseas owned' in every country tax-havened heaven, and untaxed is lent back for a double-legislated profit (see july 10th..... evidence on 'equity' before the Commons Committee)..........for, if the young don't buy qualifications, they will lack proper future employment, pensions, housing or welfare.
for me, they are like buffalos driven over a cliff, the young are thereby legislated into debt..... now the old are emptied too, and their homes will not be passed on to heirs, but legally absorbed into legislated privatised 'care' in what many think is 'economic euthanisia'. the young and the old have been disinherited by the last PM's private equity, tax-avoidance, meta-rich 'party bungs' for election advertising for Parliament...that is now de facto privatised......this seems to me to be a 21st cent primitive backwards collapse into an equivalence to some medieval 'Morton's Fork' of tax recidivism.
like the 'ancien regime' (i.e. a tribunal, the person dragged before it, answers a few questions dragged out and judgement passed). just as in the 'market forces' of the 18th cent, there seems to be an uncontrolled abuse of slave/de facto slave labour (e.g. parts of china, india, africa)..... and the gutting of nature like never before in history. these political/economic views are mine, though i find them pretty generally shared. by contrast, Blake's vision expands ever outward and ever inward....and as with all great art, it heals.
