Talk by philosopher Mark Vernon on his new book: Awake!: William Blake and the Power of the Imagination. Time: 7:45pm start - 9pm finish, followed by house party in Jericho (further details at the talk).  Location: Hood Room, Pusey House, Oxford.  Date: 20th June 2025
Sponsors: Jericho Wawa & El Exquisito magazines. Jericho Wawahas a Blake themed edition this Trinity Term and invites you to an end of term talk by philosopher Mark Vernon, on the topic of William Blake and the Power of the Imagination. Encounter one of the greatest poets and artists in English literature. Learn how we can comprehend his kaleidoscopic ideas. Jericho Wawa's Trinity edition features a leading article by Mark Vernon about William Blake, which this talk will elaborate on.
Mark Vernon takes Blake at his word. He uses his vivid writings, arresting artworks and fascinating life to illuminate Blake's Imagination-centred worldview. A worldview formed in a tumultuous era of war, discontent, rapid technological change, and human estrangement from nature.
In response Blake declared love and liberty, but also said that he conversed with prophets and angels. He was powerfully, if unconventionally, religious. If we take this seriously--not easy, in secular times--then Blake can help us to unlock the transformative power of the Imagination.
This in-person event will take place at the historic Pusey House, Oxford, providing an exemplary setting for an exploration of Blake's visionary work. Reserve your spot now! Mark's new book, available for sale & signing at the event, is written for both longstanding fans and unfamiliar readers, Awake! reveals Blake as an invigorating and hopeful guide for our modern age.
Jericho Wawa invites you to a house party in Jericho following this event, with the opportunity for discussion with the speaker. Details provided at the talk. The Jericho Wawa Trinity issue - featuring Mark's article on Blake - will be available for purchase there.
This event is generously sponsored by El Exquisito. You are invited to read their interview with Mark, published in Spanish, at Mark Vernon Interview Reviews
‘The best overall study of Blake I have encountered in a very long time. Rich and energetic, it brings together detailed readings of familiar (and not so familiar) poems with sharp contemporary application, and the deep insights of a therapist well-seasoned in finding a path through dreams. A joy to read, well worthy of its extraordinary hero.’ -- Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
'At this moment, we need the voice of Blake―however strange and wild it often seems―more than ever. He is one of those untimely prophets who have the power to make us see reality anew in every epoch. Vernon is a particularly sensitive reader of the great man, one who knows how to communicate Blake's vision with rare clarity.' -- David Bentley Hart, philosopher, cultural commentator and author

嘆息橋（英國牛津大學）正式名稱為赫特福德（Hertford）橋，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，嘆息橋始建於1913年（1914年完工），它跨過新學院路連接了赫特福德學院的新舊兩個部分，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，由托馬斯傑克遜爵士（Sir TomasJackson）設計，由於此橋形似意大利威尼斯的嘆息橋故被稱為嘆息橋。跟着旅遊團來到牛津大學，只能夠走馬觀花看了一下。

牛津大學博多利圖書館(Bodleian Library - University of Oxford)是牛津大學的總圖書館，是歐洲最古老的圖書館之一（1602年開放），也是英國規模僅次於大英圖書館的第二大圖書館。這裡是英國的6個法定圖書館之一。所有的牛津出版品在出版時都會自動送一份到此珍藏。圖書館下設有眾多分館，其中Radcliffe Camera分館己經成為牛津大學的重要地標，有很多圖書在這裡存放，不是牛津大學的學生也可入內参觀。博多利圖書館由一組不同歷史時期、不同風格的建築群構成，據說各樓之間有地下通道連接。

花幾英磅你可以爬到塔頂，欣賞牛津360度無死角的美麗風景，漂亮的長條形景觀和南部的城市最為驚艷。教堂門廊建於四五百年，其螺旋立柱是英國建築史上的一大創新特色
