Romantic Poets
The Big Six authors are, in order of birth and with an example of their work:
William Blake - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
William Wordsworth - The Prelude
Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
George Gordon, lord Byron - Don Juan
Percy Bysshe Shelley - Prometheus Unbound
John Keats - Ode on a Grecian Urn
Neatly ties in with the release of the film, Bright Star, about Keats.
Are these poems about romantic love, or the romance of ideas? I've been reading Harold Bloom on these guys, and I'll post more soon.
