Paradise Lost was written by John Milton.
Yes, in his poems "London" and "The Chimney Sweeper," William Blake explores the loss of innocence in a society that is marked by corruption, oppression, and exploitation. Through vivid imagery and powerful symbolism, he criticizes the harsh realities faced by individuals, particularly children, in a society that values materialism over compassion. Blake's work reflects his belief in the need for social and spiritual transformation to restore innocence and purity.

William Blake and William Wordsworth both held profound views on childhood, emphasizing its purity and innate connection to the divine. Blake celebrated the imaginative and untainted nature of children, seeing them as symbols of spiritual truth and creativity. In contrast, Wordsworth viewed childhood as a crucial phase of life, where the soul retains a close connection to the natural world and a sense of wonder. Both poets highlighted the importance of preserving this innocence, as it can be lost in the transition to adulthood.
