Siskel & Ebert review the drama Haunted Summer (1988), starring Laura Dern and Eric Stoltz

I’m doing a project for English. I picked the poet William Blake, A Poison Tree. Two of the questions i have to answer are 18. The time period during which the poet lived which was 1757 to 1827.
and how the time period affected the poet. An example she gave us was like the poet lived from 1855-1870, the time period was American Civil War, this affected the poet by blah blah blah. I cannot find any historical events that would affect William Blake between 1757 and 1827 . Please Help !
