Blake married Catherine â who was five years his junior â on 18 August 1782 in St. Mary's Church, Battersea. Illiterate, Catherine signed her wedding contract with an 'X'. They remained together until his death in 1827. Blake taught her to read and write, and also to use his printing-press.
Enitharmon is the wife of the eternal prophet Los in Blake's writings. Catherine is explicitly identified as the poet's shadow of delight in the second part of Blake's Milton a Poem. Catherine appears as a model wife in William Hayley's writings on ideal marriages.
