'An Engraving' : T.H Parry-Williams Necromancy, Unknowing: Sir Thomas Parry-Williams Memorial Lecture 2014

Taking as its subject the layered anxieties of T. H. Parry-Williams's 1935 essay, 'Bwrn' (burden, weight on the mind), this lecture unpicks the complex strata of knowledge and unknowing that gather round a distressful engraving (hanging in a shop window) of three cowled figures that the writer cannot exorcize.
