‘Blake: London’s Visionary Anarchist’
with Peter Marshall
Wednesday 15th July – 7pm to 8.30pm
_________________________________________



Philosopher, historian, biographer, travel writer and poet, Peter Marshall recounts the life of one of London’s finest artists, William Blake. Marshall offers a lively and perceptive account of his thought, ranging from his philosophy, his critique of existing society and culture, to his vision of a free world. 

Come along to find out why Blake can be understood as a forerunner of modern anarchism and social ecology, and discover the light which shines behind his symbolism and mythology.

This event celebrates the reprinting of Peter Marshall’s book ‘William Blake: Visionary Anarchist’ published by Freedom Press. 

Part of Housmans’ ‘London’s Burning’ series – see www.housmans.com/events.php
