Collaboration with Tate Britain

Posted on 8 April 2019

To coincide with the opening of the major Blake exhibition at Tate Britain in September 2019 and the re-dedication of a gallery space to the display of his work from Summer 2020, Tate and the Department of English and Related Literature invite applications for a full-time collaborative PhD studentship.

The studentship, 'William Blakes's Conversations: Friendships, Networks, Followers', will commence 1 October 2019, and be funded for 48 months by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

The thesis would consider the succession of different networks Blake was part of during his life, and the shifting identities that he assumed in those contexts, as apprentice, art student, employee and protégé, as “The Interpreter” for the Ancients, and as a prophetic figure for modern commentators.
