Thank you Sakonosolo!

It's funny what innocent wikipedia browsing can do. I was reading about Industrialisation in Britain. (btw, Industrial production absolutely skyrocketed in Britain around the year Mandus' factory was founded). It hasn't been confirmed anywhere that Oswald Mandus -> Ozymandias.

Then I stumbled upon something:

"During the Industrial Revolution an intellectual and artistic hostility towards the new industrialisation developed. This was known as the Romantic movement. Its major exponents in English included the artist and poet William Blake and poets [insert lots of names] Percy Bysshe Shelley. (Shelley was the one who wrote Ozymandias). The movement stressed the importance of "nature" in art and language, in contrast to "monstrous" machines and factories; the "Dark satanic mills" of Blake's poem "And did those feet in ancient time".
