Cultural historian Steve Connor on the depiction of clouds in the popular imagination.

Cultural historian Steve Connor examines the depiction of clouds in the popular imagination - from Norse mythology to the fiction of Don DeLillo.

In a series tracing the role of clouds in the arts and architecture, cultural historian Steve Connor examines the depiction of clouds in the popular imagination - as generators of turbulence, melancholy and toxicity.

He considers subjects from Norse mythology to the fiction of Don DeLillo, looking at metamorphosing visions of apocalypse glimpsed in the clouds by ultra-religious combatants in the English Civil War, as well as visions seen by Elvis Presley.
