Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Brief editorial note, the parenthesis that starts with "(and responsible for the extermination of them on the alternate Earth where Thorpe’s stories took place." never closes. Unless of course that's one of those intentional things.

    I noticed the same thing and wondered if I was missing something!

    Also, thanks for the fascinating discussions of Blake. He's one of those authors that I've heard of off-hand, but never really looked into. The overall context of his work is really essential to understanding him, I think; the poems lose most of their bite and depth without it. I especially like the Infant's Joy / Infant's Sorrow duo, which seem like some of the least dark. I have a small baby and most people don't realize how overwhelming and difficult the world is for them.

    Also, I meant to mention – a seance? Was it perhaps done by Alan Moore?

    No, it was Adrian Riglesford 😉

    Thank you. I worry that the Blake bits are possibly a mite self-indulgent, but I do so enjoy said indulgence.

    It doesn't matter if the Blake bits are self-indulgent, because they are, I think, fascinating and compelling in their own right, not to mention (I suspect) absolutely essential to understanding the last war in Albion.

    As with the others above Phil, I am really appreciating the Blake sections – they both give a real context to understanding the War and its battlefield, as well as giving me a deeper perspective on his work. I love the way they are threaded through the work, coming in as a parallel commentary, yes I love the transitions and the seances!
