Abstract
This essay examines how Blake's poetry and painting combine in his magnum opus, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion, to produce a multimedia (visual and linguistic) experience within an imaginary, daimonic space. I argue that this imaginary, daimonic space reflects Blake's own daimonic cosmology, characterisation, and aesthetics, which enriches the reader's experience of Blake's work.
