English poetry has a history which extends from the middle of the 7th century to today. During this time, English poets wrote some of European culture's longest lasting poems and language & poetry spread across the globe.
Explanation:
- The Norman conquest in 1066 made Norman French the language of the high schools and courts and influenced the English language enormously. Middle English was the result. Poetry dominated at this time by "emotive lyric poems" & "fantastical chivalric romances". Rhythm and rhyme replace aliterations as a defining attribute, and Geoffrey Chaucer, whose chivalric "Canterbury Tales," with tales by thousands, traders, reeves and goodwives, took the chivalric romance daily.
- The Renaissance arrived slowly in England and the start date was generally accepted around 1509. The English Renaissance was also generally accepted to extend until 1660 when restored. However, multiple factors prepared the way before this starting date for the launch of the new learning. Many medieval poets had expressed interest in Aristotle 's thoughts and the writings of the precursors of the European Renaissance such as Dante.
- English poetry of the 18th century was mostly about Satire, with Alexander Pope (1688-1744) and Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) biting in his wit. The term 'Augustan' was often used in describing another great "poetic passion" of that time: the great Greek & Roman writers' translations as well as poets like Horace, Homer, & Juvenal.
- Most famous, beloved and most extensively read English poets & poems were written in the Romantic *(Romanticism) period (18th to 19th centuries). These poets were concerned with nature & genuine emotion & mortality especially towards the end of the period, , they started to move kind of away from stringent poetic rules of rhyme & meters, though it can be challenging for modern-day readers who are used to modern poetry to detect the transition. The great names during that period are William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, & John Keats .
- During World War period the poets who emerged were males (and, more seldom and less prominently), women who were spiritually and sometimes physically breaking. The two biggest are Wilfred Owen, who did not survive, and Siegfried Sassoon but there are many more who are noteworthy, such as Rupert Brooke Robert Graves (1895–1985), A. E. Housman and John McRae of whom generations of schoolchildren's "Flanders Fields" have been committed to remember since.
- Romanticism and Symbolism blend together in the works of many of the most famous poets of the Victorian era. Comic verse was also extremely popular in the victorian era and appeared in magazines like Punch, though little of the people's consciousness has survived. That was the highest point of the Imperial Empire, and the age of industrialisation, and towards the end Rudyard Kipling had rose to prominence with poems aimed to capture the "essence" of the"quintessential" Victorian English Gentleman, most well known from the poem 'If' that still has its "popularity". 2 more "famous poets" of the Victorian period are William Butler Yeats & and Thomas Hardy
- While modernism is perhaps the poetic style that still dominates today in English. Modernism was the child of the post-WWI period Several of the surviving War poets were among the early Modernists, but others, particularly TS Elliot & Ezra Pound were also present and who had spent some time in England but both were American at birth.
