Philip Hoare - The Revolutionary Genius of William Blake
A journey of both past and future, of the natural world and metaphysical realms, Philip Hoare guides us through a dreamscape slipping through time and space with the unpredictable guide of William Blake.

In this whirlwind conversation, Philip illuminates this incredible mind and its enduring cultural legacy.
