    Among his best known lyrics are “The Lamb,” “The Tyger,”

    “London,” and the “Jerusalem” lyric from Milton, which has become a

    kind of second national anthem of England.

    Blake lived and worked in the teeming metropolis of


    London at a time of great social and political change that
    profoundly influenced his writing. After the peace was
    established in 1762, the British empire seemed secure, but
    the storm wave began with the American Revolution in
    1775 and the French Revolution in 1789 which changed
    forever the way men looked at their relationship with the
    state and the established church.

    works.
