What ideas do Blake and Wordsworth present and how effectively are :: English Literature

What ideas do Blake and Wordsworth present and how effectively arethey presented?Both poets lived through some(prenominal) the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Ibelieve these rimes were written just around the turn of the century.During this period the Industrial Revolution was under port and Britainwasbecoming a in truth advanced country. It was a time of big change foreveryone and I think the poets both explain that in their poems. Notonly was it the Revolution, it was about the same time as the RomanticMovement, when poets would write about beauty, love and purity. Thewhole population attended church every Sunday. They all believed Godwas ubiquitous (these people were called Pantheists). It was an super religious age and anyone who did not respect God would betreated with disrespect. Both poets had to remember this when theywrote their poems.Both poems are about the same place (London) and both poets havedifferent views. In my opinion they are both harshly critical of thecit y and its population. William Wordsworth Composed upon WestminsterBridgeis written in a 14 line sonnet, the first eight describing theman made elements of Londonand the lastly six talking about the naturalbeauty. He has written it in prose using iambic pentameter to helpemphasise the meaning of the rhyming words, each line has the samenumber of syllables. The poem itself is descriptive, with a strongrhyming scheme. It contains anachronism, in the third to last line heuses archaic English to describe the river. This shows he has a widerranger of vocabulary than other poet at that time. He uses assonancethroughout the poem along with adjectives and punctuation on everyline.Wordsworth is very optimistic with his feeling towards London. Hisphilosophy is to appreciate the Londonview and the beauty of natureeverywhere. I get the impression he believes God gave us our sensesand the ability to remember the beauty in everything around us. Hepersonifies everything, the sun, river, and even the city itself. Hegives them functions that are unique to humans. He saysThe city now doth like a garment wearThe beauty of the morningThis makes the reader think that the city is not just an inanimatecollection of buildings except actually alive, bustling with life. Iinterpret this personification to mean that the city is disguisingitself in the beauty of the morning sun, not revealing this trueugliness.Knowing the way Londonwas back then, during the Industrial Revolution,it is clear to say that Wordsworth is exaggerating its beauty. He useseffective imagery and praises all achievements in the world, both byman and in nature.
