Summary Of The Chimney Sweeper

In 1817 a report from the parliamentary committee on the employment of child sweeps - also known as ‘climbing boys’- declared that there were children as young as four years old working arduous hours in chimneys barely seven inches wide. Due to familial poverty, children were sold by their parents or recruited from workhouses. Parents would often lie about the age of their child in an effort to sell them to master-sweeps. To increase speed the master sweep would employ physical punishment; pins and

understanding the relationship between innocence and experience. As one becomes less ignorant towards the suffrage around them, they become bitter towards their own society, which is clearly reflected in the structure of the poems. Blake’s Innocent Chimney Sweeper is perfectly symmetrical, consisting of six stanzas, each containing four lines of four beats. This gives the poem a song-like quality, which is effective in highlighting the sadness of the subject matter. Child labour is not a joyful subject

The 18th century saw the development of children’s literature as a category of its own. The horrors of the Industrial Revolution made writing about children come to life. William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper” from the Book of Experience presents children as unimportant and mistreated which influenced Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre to introduce childhood experience from a child’s perspective.

particularly salient in "The Chimney Sweeper" and "The Lamb". In fact, one can argue that most of the fundamental beliefs that Christianity is based upon are found within these poems, which serve as excellent examples of the author's tendency to write poems that adhere to a decidedly Christian viewpoint.

For example, in his two poems both titled “The Chimney Sweeper”, he brings attention to the cruelty of children being sold into slavery by their parents and the ideology that allows them to do so without guilt. The poem “The Chimney Sweeper” in the Innocence collection, ends when the boy Tom was visited by an angel who promised him a place in heaven and

Rhyme According to Hollander (2001), Rhyme is one of the most well-known and popular sound devices in poetry; the term rhyme refers to the use of words with similar or the same sounds. Rhyme is often a key component of a poem, although not all poets make use of it. Those who do use it in a variety of ways, sometimes making the last word in each line of a poem rhyme, sometimes rhyming every other line. See here how the poet John Donne, who wrote some of the world’s most beautiful love poems, does
