Poet of Albion
Daljit Nagra introduces The Poet of Albion on the life of the radical London artist and poet, William Blake. From November 2007.
麻豆社 Radio 4's Poet in Residence, Daljit Nagra revisits the 麻豆社's radio poetry archive with The Poet of Albion.
Jenny Uglow presents a profile of Wiliam Blake. Widely misrepresented as a patriotic conformist, the great poet was a passionate dissident, a political artist deeply at odds with his country whose ideas were formed by the turbulent history of the time.
Contributors include Blake's biographer Peter Ackroyd and poet and critic Tom Paulin.
Producers: Susan Marling and Kate Bland.
Made for 麻豆社 Radio 4 by Just Radio and first broadcast in 2007.
