19th Century Poets I am the daughter of Earth and Water,And the nursling of the Sky;I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;I change, but I cannot die. -Percy ShelleyFrom: The Cloud 1820The early 19th Century saw the blossoming of the great Romantic poetssuch asKeats, Shelley and William Wordsworth. In America there was also a powerful movement of poets, loosely termed Early American Poets these included Emily Dickinson, Ralph Emerson and Walt Whitman. After the greatRomantic poetsthe next generation of British Poets became associated with theVictorian age. To some extent they offered greater conformity of vision andwere more likely to useChristian imagery but they were still influenced by powerful undercurrents of theRomantic movement.In fact the influence of Romanticism can be seen even in modern poets such as Gerard Manley Hopkins. Later poets of the twentieth century also acknowledged the influence of this creative period in poetry.In India Swami Vivekananda epitomised the revitalisation of Hindu culture.
