- Oktatás célja
- Focusing on poetry, painting and music, the course is designed to enhance students’ understanding of Blake’s composite art with the help of the Blake Archive. Through a close reading of the early works and the minor prophecies, students are invited to explore Blake’s idiosyncratic visionary universe. A variety of approaches shall be considered to get a wide scope of contemporary Blake studies.
