Dersin İçeriği:

In the period from 1786 to 1830, seven major poets emerged who permanently affected the nature of English language and literature. Blake, Burns, Wordsworth, and Coleridge may be regarded as the first generation of Romantic poets, writing most of their major works from 1786 to 1805. Byron, Shelley, and Keats are the second generation, producing their major works from 1810 to 1824. In addition to these major poets several other poets have also produced works of character and quality which should not be forgotten.
