Cohosted with the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Colloquium, English Department, Yale University

To celebrate the opening of the fall exhibition William Blake: Burning Bright, the Yale Center for British Art is hosting a moderated panel discussion that considers the relationship between word and image in Blake's multimedia artistic career.
