About This Book
The Tyger is a poem by William Blake, published in 1794 in Songs of Experience, as Blake was rising to prominence as a poet. The poem is one of the most anthologised in the English literary canon; it has been the subject of much literary criticism, and the inspiration for many musical settings and other adaptations. It explores Christian religious paradigms prevalent in late-18th-century and early-19th-century England, questioning the intention and motivation behind God's creation of such disparate beings as the "Lamb" and the eponymous "Tyger."
