Minor Romantic Poets

Charles Lamb others

Charles Lamb's poems are unabashedly sentimental, and perhaps for this reason he is still remembered as a poet and widely read today. Mary Lamb with Charles Lamb produced many well-known collections of poetry and prose for children. Hartley Coleridge published poems in the London Magazine. He excelled at composing sonnets and published a short collection, Poems. In his time, John Clare was commonly known as "the Northamptonshire Peasant Poet". He wrote in Northamptonshire dialect, introducing local words to the literary canon. His early work expresses delight in nature and the cycle of the rural year. Leigh Hunt's vivid descriptions and lyrical quality are noteworthy, as is his keen delight in nature, and he is a master of mood and atmosphere. As a poet, Walter Savage Landor was best known for his classic epigrams and idylls. Most of Dorothy Wordsworth's writing explores the natural world. Hannah More can be said to have made three reputations in the course of her long life: as a poet and playwright in the circle of Johnson, Reynolds and Garrick, as a writer on moral and religious subjects, and as a practical philanthropist. Sir Walter Scott's first love and earliest success was as a poet. Indeed, it is no understatement to say that he was the best-read, best-reviewed and best-paid poet of the Romantic period: Robert Southey was perhaps the most versatile, as well as one of the most prolific. He produced epics, romances, and metrical tales, ballads, plays, monodramas, odes, eclogues, sonnets, and miscellaneous lyrics. Mary Robinson became distinguished for her poetry and was reclassified as "the English Sappho" by the English public. She wrote eight collections of poems.
