Let’s have a look at the poem London, by William Blake, which was written during the French Revolution and in which he describes the city life.
In this poem, Blake focuses on the social and political background of London and highlights differences between the wealth of the ruling classes and the poverty of the common man. Free speech is curtailed as a way to prevent Londoners from following the example of their French counterparts. The people of London are described as being weak and full of woe revealed by the marks on their faces. There is a repetition on the word "marks" which again stresses the despair and tiredness that they seem to be going through because of their oppressed way of life.
Music was expressed through an increased use of folk melodies. The artist was also important, and society expected composers and performers to excercise their creative powers, especially as soloists. The major composers of the era include Wolfgang von Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt, Hector Berlioz, Giuseppe Verdi and Peter Tchaikovsky.
