description William Blake’s illuminated books are particular art objects that combine image and text in an etching technique created by the artist. They create the illusion of handwriting, whose stroke continues in drawing. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell [ca. 1790] is an inflection point among these books, because it shows a reinforcement of the technique, respecting the quality of images and the readability of handwriting, and because plate 15 symbolizes the illuminating process. Despite the visual illusion, the piece does not generate a continuous sense, but image and text are in tension. This study focuses on the complex interpretation of this piece as a literary and artistic work that comprises a counter-reflexive idea of time and history.
