One of most famous poems of William Blake (1757-1827) is “London”. Its first stanza says: “I wander thro’ each chartered street. Near where the charter’d Thames does flow, And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe.” “Em cada rua escriturada em que ando Onde o Tamisa flui escriturado, Eu nos rostos que encontro vou notando Sinais de fome e dor, sinais de enfado.” (Tradução de Paulo Vizzioli) The misery and despair that William Blake observed among the huge crowds that roamed London streets had been provoked by:


a) The Industrial Revolution.
b) Feudalism.
c) Imperialism.
d) Medieval Wars.
e) The Hundred Years War.
