    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 1820


    The early 19th Century saw the blossoming of the great Romantic poets such
    as Keats, 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
    great Romantic poets the next generation of British Poets became associated
    with the Victorian age. To some extent they offered greater conformity of
    vision and were more likely to use Christian imagery but they were still
    influenced by powerful undercurrents of the Romantic 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.
    After centuries of decline under Muslim and then British
    rule Vivekananda powerfully called his countrymen to invoke the ancient
    universal and eternal ideals of Sanatana Dharma.
