romantic poets
Sentimental verse writers
The Romantic poets were a group of British writers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries who emphasized emotion, nature, and individual experience over classical restraint.
The major figures include Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats.
Their work celebrated imagination, the sublime in nature, and personal feeling: We studied the Romantic poets in my English lit course.
