'What a rich resource Blake's Songs is - rigourous, scholarly and accessible - my students have been visibly value added through it!' English teacher, Hornsey School for Girls 'The English and Media Centre (London) sell an AMAZING pack for A2 Blake. Well worth the money. You can order by post or phone and they'll send it to you very quickly.' Posted on the TES message board, 10th May 2006 'Provides teachers with a wealth of practical activities that will enable their students to engage with Songs of Innocence and Experience with increasing confidence - an extensive and very well-researched resource.' Sue Dymoke, University of Leicester in English Drama Media, 2005 'Your Blake materials were superb. It's a fantastic resource and has been particularly useful for helping our students get to grips with the historical context.' Paul Lindsay Addy, 2006 'I always get excited when I see a new release from the EMC but the latest release Studying Blake's Songs is breathtaking...From an academic point of view this resource is both erudite and authoritative - and good fun! The interactive elements are superb...EMC have cracked the intellectually interactive - we've waited a while Mr Caxton, but this is your true heir.' David Foley Asst Head (and English teacher) William Howard School, Cumbria, 2006
