Fitzwilliam Museum in the context of "Tarquin and Lucretia"

Frederick William Green (March 21, 1869 – 1949) was an English Egyptologist, who worked at a number of sites throughout Egypt. He was honorary keeper of the antiquities at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge from 1908 to 1949. Green was also a watercolour painter.

In rhetoric, an anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, "carrying back") is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis. In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the clauses' ends. The combination of anaphora and epistrophe results in symploce.

Andrew Michael Jaffé CBE (3 June 1923 – 13 July 1997) was a British art historian and curator. He was Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England for 17 years, from 1973 to 1990.

"London" is a poem by William Blake, published in the Songs of Experience in 1794. It is one of the few poems in Songs of Experience that reflects a constrained or bleak view of the city. Written during the time of significant political and social upheaval in England, the poem expresses themes of oppression, poverty, and institutional corruption. Scholars have suggested that Blake used this work to critique the impacts of industrialization and to highlight the experiences of London's impoverished residents.

The poem critically examines the social conditions of the time, particularly the exploitation of the poor, while also addressing the loss of individual freedom and the moral decay of society. Blake's writing is thought to reflect his response to the industrial revolution and political unrest in England, as he sought to highlight the suffering of the city's inhabitants.
