What Blake did next: 200 years under the influence of William Blake
6.30pm, Thursday 15 October
Chapel Lecture Theatre, Tremough Campus
Despite dying in relative obscurity in 1827, William Blake has emerged as one of the most important artists and writers ever to have worked in Britain, one who has influenced a wide range of figures since the late nineteenth century.
In this lecture, Jason Whittaker, Resident Professor of English and Media Arts at Falmouth, will concentrate on two of Blake's most popular texts, the poem "The Tyger" and the hymn "Jerusalem". The lecture will explore some of the ways in which that influence has been used and abused to provide a fertile ground for new creative developments, as well as arguing that a study of such poetic and artistic reception is the way forward for Blake studies.
