Abstract
The creation of Beulah as a lyric world in Songs of Innocence considers the recreation of different symbols that allow Blake to compose his fi ctional world and establish a relationship with the literary tradition. However, through the exploration of the motif of deviation, Blake deterreritorializes tradition creating a lyric world of absolute innocence and spiritual aspiration where the poet becomes the visionary and constructor of the new paradise for man.
