The study examines the complex relationship between words and images in William Blake’s illustrated book, Songs of Innocence and Experience. Since the 1950s, Blake’s illustrated books have been considered “composit art” by Blake scholars like Northrop Frye, Jean Hagstrum and W. J. T. Mitchell. Most recently, however, influenced by Poststructuralism, some Blake scholars have begun to insist on observing the illustrated books as an “open and disintegrable text.” In examining “The Lamb,” “The Tyger,” “Infant Joy” and “The Fly” of Songs of Innocence and Experience, this paper argues that this illustrated book can be seen from both perspectives, as “composit art” and an “open and disintegrable text.” These are two contradictory characteristics of this book, and the inconsistent relationship between words and images can be an essential artistic framework of this book.
