This podcast is aimed at a non-specialist audience interested in acquiring what Northrop Frye called, in the title of one of his books, an educated imagination. Its materials are drawn from the many courses in literature and mythology that I taught, combined with material from my book The Productions of Time, for which I hope the podcast may provide an accessible introduction, with concrete examples.

Urizen is the aspect of the divine nature that fell out of the larger cosmic identity, contracting away. His fall into a void is metaphorically identical with the creation of the fallen world, so it is a Creation-Fall. Los has to create a body for the fallen Urizen or he would plunge into non-being.
