The new series of In Conversation talks is now live

After a summer recess, we’re glad to welcome our latest speakers who will be discussing their research into William Blake, beginning with David Worrall, Emeritus Professor of English at Nottingham Trent University, who will be talking about his newest book, William Blake’s Visions: Art, Hallucinations, Synaesthesia, in September.

He’ll be followed by Ines Tebourski discussing Los’s healthy narcissism in October, William Rubel on Blake’s ‘The Fly’ in December, and Ramazan Saral on death in the poetry of Blake and Rumi.

We’ll also be holding a one-day symposium on Blake and Music in November: details to follow shortly.

All talks take place at 19.00-20.00.

Times given are London-standard time (GMT/BST).
