'The following Poems are here for the first time printed in their integrity. In Blake's life-time they were never printed or published, in any ordinary sense of the words ... Garth Wilkinson ... and D.G. Rossetti ... both saw fit ... to alter the poems considerably. Even Allan Cunningham ... could not refrain from touching them up here and there to suit his fancy.' -- Preface.
