Looking for anyone who can share some popular poets during the Victorian Era. I know of some like Blake. Im writing a paper and need some help.
 
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Robert Browning
Matthew Arnold
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Emily Dickinson
John Keats
Edgar Allen Poe
 
--Matthew Arnold ("Dover Beach")
--Elizabeth Barrett Browning ("Aurora Leigh")
--Robert Browning ("The Lost Mistress"; "Porphyria's Lover"; "Prospice")
--Rudyard Kipling ("If")
--Christina Rossetti ("A Birthday"; "Remember"; "When I Am Dead, My Dearest")
--Dante Gabriel Rossetti ("Genius in Beauty"; "Insomnia"; "A Sea-Spell")
--Alfred Tennyson ("Tears, Idle Tears"; "The Charge of the Light Brigade"; "In Memorium"; "Summer Night")
--Oscar Wilde ("Young Charmides"; "The Grave of Shelley")
--Lewis Carroll ("Jabberwocky"; "The Hunting of the Snark")


FYI: Blake is NOT a Victorian poet; he is a Romantic poet. He died before the Victorian era began, which was 1837.
Emily Dickinson and Poe aren't really Victorian poets because Victorian poetry is confined to England. Keats is also not Victorian--he is a Romantic poet.
So if you are looking at Blake, you are looking at Romantic poets. If that's the case, Romantic poets include:
--Samuel Taylor Coleridge ("Rime of the Ancient Mariner")
--John Keats ("Ode on a Grecian Urn")
--Lord Byron ("Don Juan")
--William Wordsworth ("The Prelude")
--Percy Shelley ("Prometheus Unbound")
--Ralph Waldo Emerson ("Ode to Beauty"; "Dirge"; "Celestial Love"; "Bacchus"; "The Apology")
