An Overannotated “Auguries of Innocence”	2020		.htm	application/xhtml+xml	3980	143	60	Recently, in reviewing two new editions of Blake, I used “Auguries of Innocence” as a test case to assess the explanatory notes provided by the editors. Blake dismissed the ancient Romans as “slaves of the Sword“ (E 95), victimizers and victims of a pervasive and pernicious imperial culture of war; by adding “of Innocence” to “Auguries” in the title he suggests a distinction between his benign visionary practice and the corrupt Roman form.	cache/blake-267.htm	txt/blake-267.txt
