Welcome to The Invisible College, my series of literature courses for paid subscribers. The 2024 syllabus can be found here.1 This first episode in the sequence on British Literature from Romanticism to Modernism is free for all subscribers. It’s about the life and work of William Blake. The slideshow corresponding to the lecture is here:
Future episodes will be behind a paywall. If you like this one, please consider a paid subscription. (If you can’t afford a paid subscription but want access to the course anyway, email me at johnppistelli@gmail.com.) Please like, comment, subscribe, and tell a friend—and please enjoy!
Please note that I’ve made one change to the schedule since first announcing the course. I decided that I already said (in both essay and podcast form) all I currently have to say about T. S. Eliot back in 2022, so I’m swapping out The Waste Land for a handful of short pieces—three poems, two stories, and one essay—by D. H. Lawrence instead.
