 The Long March Introduction
And it is well at the outset to note that a cultural revolution is not the same thing as an intellectual or artistic revolution, though the three things often go together.
A cultural revolution, whatever the political ambitions of its architects, results first of all in a metamorphosis in values and the conduct of life.
The Glorious Revolution in England in 1688 and the American Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century are the chief—perhaps the only—examples of the former; the latter, regrettably, are much more common: the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution provide archetypes of actual tyranny staging a coup under the banner of imagined liberation.

 The Industrial Revolution - Impact
There were many artistic movements during the period of Britain's industrialization, each of which was a reaction to the feelings of the time, as well as to the movement which had preceded it.
By the time that the Industrial Revolution really took hold, some artists were at differences with the ideals which it espoused, such as those of discipline, temperance, structure, and views of the Enlightenment.
Describing this industrialization as a revolution is apt - despite the longer timeframe involved, the social consequences and economic changes that the world has faced because of industrialization easily equate the political effects that any of the European revolutions had.

 [No title]
Hence, Blake ridicules his cultural environment and, tangentially, his aesthetic compatriots for linking artistic merit to socio-economic, thereby dictating the parameters in and terms on which he and his works could gain acceptance.
Further, just as the constituents of Blake's audience are innocent of their position within an unsound social climate and Blake's artistic attempt to disdain it, so his Shepherd's flock innocently imprisons the Shepherd and his attempts to express disdain for a condition so psychologically harmful to him.
However, the artistic method used by Blake in creating "The Shepherd," with its paradoxical duality, demonstrates Blake's embrace of conflict as a vital in any form of revolution.
