Celtic Moment

and was it accurate that England was an evil tyrant opressing Scotland?

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 !

As a lover of Blake’s poetry I decided to try recording the complete collection of poems, set partly to original music and partly to adaptations of folk tunes. It is presented here in eight videos, with some assistance from my sister, Annette, also a lover of Blake, and my nephew, Lachlan. William Blake (1757-1827), now famous for his unique poetic and artistic vision, was not recognised in his own lifetime.

The poems in “Songs of Innocence” either express a child’s point of view or are about children. Many have a matching poem in “Songs of Experience”, giving a different and darker perspective.Though Blake believed children needed to become experienced, he blamed social exploitation, such as child labour, and dogmatic …
