- Abstract
The article focuses on the influence of the Moravian Church and Emanuel Swedenborg on William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, particularly their impact on infant education. It discusses the unconventional pedagogical ideas of teaching spiritual and emotional themes to young children, highlighting how Blake's work may reflect these ideals and challenge traditional assumptions in children's literature.
