Poetry????

Question

What kind of poems did William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Blake write?

and how do you write it?

Answer 1

Wordsworth, Coleridge and Blake were just three of the poets and authors grouped into the British Romantic Period. Their poetry did not dwell on "romance and romantic love" but rather was a reaction against the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Romantic poetry displays a return to nature by man. Romantic poets were frustrated by the Enlightenment's advocacy of reason over emotion. Rebelling against the structure enforced by "reason", the Romantics praised imagination as a means of furthering systems of knowledge they believed were handicapped by relying solely on reason. The basic definition of Romantic Poetry as a movement points to the use of free verse in poetry that incorporates natural themes and emotions,

Coleridge is best remembered for his "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"; Blake for "The Tyger"; and Wordsworth for several works, including "The Prelude" (an autobiographical poem) and "Tintern Abbey". Wordsworth was also the Poet Laureate of England for a time.

Answer 2

They were romantic poets

Romantic poetry was part of the Romantic movement of European literature during the 18th-19th centuries. Some have attributed the Romantic era of poetry as a reaction against the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Romantic poetry displays a return to nature by man, which is strongly seen in the works of Wordsworth. Further, the Romantic poets were frustrated by the limitations placed on knowledge and the human condition by the Elightenment's valorization of reason over emotion. As a result, the Romantics often praised imagination as a means of furthering systems of knowledge they believed were truncated by embracing reason soley.

The specific use of the term romantic poetry varies, but the most common definition is a movement in poetry seeking formal freedom, increased emotional effect and use of ancient and folk sources for poetry.

Answer 3

Wordsworth and Coleridge wrote Lyrical Ballads and published it anonymously at first.

Blake was a generation behind them and wrote mostly during the Neo-classical period, but his poems were so different and visionary, he was adopted as a Romantic poet.
