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.

Episode 232: William Blake’s The Four Zoas, Nights 6 and 7. Urizen Explores His Dens. His Confrontation with Orc, Who Becomes a Serpent. Los Unites with the Spectre of Urthona and Enitharmon.
After the Fall, Urizen explores his dens, bringing the fallen world into being. He follows the powerful heartbeat of the bound Orc, and sits confronting him, writing his books of laws. Orc defies him, then metamorphoses downward into a gigantic serpent. But in the beginning of a counter-movement, Los unites with the Spectre of Urthona and Enitharmon to begin the imagination’s work of redemption.
