Brought to you by Blackwell’s Bookshop and the Ashmolean Museum, ‘Inspired by Blake’ is a two-week William Blake Festival celebrating the magnificent and visionary painter, poet, thinker and icon.
This panel discussion opens the festival and examines the many different aspects of William Blake, his influence on thought and culture, and his relevance today. The panel features Philip Pullman (who is President of the Blake Society), Iain Sinclair (author and pschogeographer, whose book ‘Blake’s London’ examines Blake’s relationship with our capital) and Caspar Henderson, whose new book will be ‘A New Map of Wonders’, a book about wonder and things that make the world astonishing.
