Lake Poets in the history of English

literature

The English romanticism as a historical phrase of literature is generally said to have began in 1798 and ended in1832.however, at this great period, there are three great poets who cannot be ignored, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, and William Words worth.

These three poets are known as the “Lake Poets”, because they once settled at Dove Cottage in Cashmere, Westmoreland, and the loveliest spot in the English Lake District.

The Lake Poets play a transitional role between old and new styles in the poetry development in literature history especially in the English history. In their works we see the influence from both the past and the modern.

⑴

During the romantic period, there have been great changes in both European society and economy, which were actually provoked by two important revolutions, the French revolution and the English industrial revolution. And as a result, some of the great imaginative writings in the romantic period sprang from the confrontation of radicals and conservatives at the close of the 18th century. While “the lake poets “choose nature, imagination as their poetic subjects, other great poets, such as George garden Byron, showed a lasting contempt for what he considered the commonplace and vulgarity of the “lake poets”. Because they think the “lake poets”, to some extent, are too conservation in their period.
