Join the live lectures, book clubs, and poetry community at 🏫 https://versedcommunity.mn.co/ The poets who have been regarded as the most representative of the Romantic poetry movement are divided into two camps—early and late. The older generation of Romantics begins with William Blake, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The younger generation that succeeds them include Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats. They are often called “The Big 6,” but there are more Romantic age poets who are worth reading.
