Kate Barush on 'Blake's Illuminated Manuscripts'
10am Thursday 3 June, English Faculty, LT2
Blake printed his poetry in a unique, striking, and beautiful manner, and the experience of his works as artefacts and artistic productions as well as text is crucial to understanding them. This lecture will introduce and explain the methods through which Blake produced his illuminated books and their importance to his mythopoesis, as well as providing the interpretative tools necessary to discuss and analyse Blake's unique composite art. Blake's artistic background and training will be explained, key works examined, and his oppositional iconography and stylistic devices explored. This will be an engaging and valuable session to those interested in Blake and/or illuminated texts.
