Paulin on Blake
November 28th, 2007 by Steve BowbrickHere’s some proper learning from the grown-ups over at Radio 3. Tom Paulin, a public intellectual on an almost Eighteenth Century model and a William Blake expert, has written a four-part essay about Blake’s language for the Beeb’s aforementioned Blake-a-thon.
I’m going to grab all four of these because Radio 3’s archiving policy is patchy at best. So as not to swamp the podcast with the old fruitcake (sorry), I’ll add parts two, three and four to this entry. So, remember to come back here if you’d like to hear them all (MP3s: part one, part two, part three, part four). From the British Library’s collection, here’s a really lovely Shockwave facsimile of one of his notebooks and here’s a page about The Tyger.

“So, remember to come back here if you’d like to hear them all”
Don’t mean to be bitchy or anything but this would be a lot easier if you had a full feed.

Hi Pete, can you explain what you mean by a full feed? Happy to oblige. Just not sure what you mean. Thanks…

I’m confused as well. The feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/speechification) is not truncated, as far as I can tell.

Ah, that’ll be because I’m using http://speechification.com/rss then, probably picked up from the Tumblr days. Resubscribed - sorry for the confusion!
Keep up the good work!

Ahha! That makes more sense. If Feedburner goes down, try falling back to /feed or /atom instead of /rss. I’ll probably start redirecting /rss to the Feedburner feed actually, to pick up all the other old-skool subscribers.
The Feedburner feed is a better choice though. Thanks for switching over to that.
