Program Description

Event Details

In the 1700s English writers began to explore the imaginary possibilities of the "Gothic" world. Their works were characteristically melancholic and reflective with over-arching themes of human mortality and salvation. A pioneer in this new literary style was none other than William Blake: the poet, the artist, and the mystic. Some thought him completely mad; but in reality, he was born into a world unready to receive the genius of his magnitude. Join us as we explore the revolutionary mind of William Blake. Presented by Karri Fritz-Klaus of Cornerstone Symposium.

This is the final lecture in a five-part series, “Revolution Pictured in Frames.” Free to attend. No registration required.
