The Poet of Albion

BBC Radio 4

William Blake is popularly regarded as the strange poet that gave us the childhood favourite, the Tyger, and the patriotic anthem, Jerusalem. But here Jenny Uglow reveals Blake as a political artist deeply at odds with his country whose ideas were formed by the turbulent history of the time.

"Subversive, enjoyable." The New Statesman

"There's a whole batch of William Blake related programming this week to mark the 250th anniversary of his birth, but Jenny Uglow's excellent doc is pick of the bunch."  Time Out

"Produced by Susan Marling, whose fine ear for location sound is matched by her sensitivity to language." The Daily Telegraph
