Major Poets and Their Works. Although there were many poets â including a large number of women â that would fit the Romantic âframework,â the ones people generally consider to be most relevant are the Big Six: William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats.
In the preface Wordsworth writes on the need for common speech within poems and argues against the hierarchy of the period which valued epic poetry above the lyric. Wordsworth's most famous work, The Prelude (1850), is considered by many to be the crowning achievement of English romanticism. The poem, revised numerous times, chronicles the spiritual life of the poet and marks the birth of a new genre of poetry.
