Poet, printmaker, visionary, the British artist William Blake (1757-1827) made work that is both profoundly personal and universal. Tate Britain is now presenting the most comprehensive exhibition of Blake's work ever held (9 November - 11 February 2001). The aim is to show Blake as an artist, as a poet and as a man. William Blake Online is designed to enrich your experience of the exhibition by introducing some of Blake's artistic and poetical works, his life story and the London that he knew. The site follows the four exhibition sections, but includes a fifth section, Learning Tools, designed especially for teachers' and students' needs

a web site devoted to translations and parodies of Lewis Carroll's popular poem, 'The Jabberwocky', first published in 'Through the Looking Glass, and what Alice Found There'. The original poem, renowned for its inventive use of portmanteau and suggestive nonce words, has been translated into almost 30 different languages. This site hosts 58 separate translations, into languages including Afrikaans, Choctaw, Czech, Esperanto, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Klingon (incomplete), Latin, Russian, Spanish, Welsh, and Yiddish. In addition to the translations there are 23 parodies on the site. A more useful section consists of extracts from Carroll's original text, including Humpty Dumpty's exegesis. Carroll's own interpretative suggestions and pronunciation guides (from his correspondence) are also reproduced on the site, as are a few short notes on the origins of the poem, and comments on the difficulties facing its translators.
