Last weekend saw the 20th anniversary of 2001 film Bridget Jones’s Diary. And while the rom-com is still adored by many, it is also often criticised for its dated moral values in the age of MeToo. Many think pieces have denounced the film s feminist credentials over the years, while one tweet picking apart the film s questionable treatment of body image and sex went viral last February. In the recent documentary Being Bridget Jones, which aired over Christmas, the writer Helen Fielding herself admitted she didn’t think the first film could be made today. “I think, thank you, #MeToo,” she said.

One fine day, though history does not record how fine, William Blake’s friend and patron, Thomas Butts, came to call on the poet and his wife Catherine in Lambeth.
He was surprised to find the couple naked in the garden, reading to one another from Paradise Lost. “Come in!” cried Blake, “it’s only Adam and Eve you know!” before putting the kettle, and presumably his trousers, on.
Blake’s own Garden of Love was a dismal place, wrecked by religion (“And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds/ And binding with briars, my joys & desires”). But he understood a great truth about gardens, which is that, as well as affording various delights to the senses, they are a realm of enchantment, allegory and outright fantasy.
