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.
Grounded in an exploration of the relationship between words and images and the material nature of Blake’s illustrated books, this lecture will use the material and formal openness of Blake’s work as the basis for learning to read in the spirit of Blake. Saree Makdisi is the professor of English and Comparative Literature at UCLA.
