Six essays on angels

 

I have given a number of talks about angels (and putti, fairies and dragons) - all the result of an article I published in the journal Opticon26 [it can be accessed here: https://www.readcube.com/articles/10.5334%2Fopt.070906]. That piece was picked up by the international Press and this is one example of the stories that resulted: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/christmas/6860351/Angels-cant-fly-scientist-says.html

Having written several subsequent essays on angels, I thought it might be of interest if I grouped their links into one place, so here they are, in chronological order:
