    The development of 19th century poetry in England was difficult due to two main factors: 1) Poetry could not keep up with the unprecedented growth of the novel as a form. 2) Poets experienced anxiety over originality and influence as they feared imitating the great Romantic poets like Byron, Keats, and Shelley, whose era marked the peak of poetic tradition in England. Some key poets of the 19th century included Alfred Tyson, Robert Browning, and the Pre-Rafaelite movement sought to evolve poetry further.

    There are two factors that influenced the difficult development of the poetry in the 19th century:

    1. Poetry can’t keep up with the unprecedented development of the novel


    2. Poets experiment now the anxiety of ingluence (which will be defined by Haorld Bloom
    at the end of the 20th century) because they are afraid they might only imitate the
    romantic tradition in their verse.
    Byron, Keats, Shelly- great poets of the Romantic era
    The poetic instinct in England is anihilated.
    Alfred Tyson, Robert Browning- two important poets in the first half of the 19th century.
    The Pre-Rafaelite Group represents an evolutive movement for the poetry.

    Cultural and aesthetic directions in the pre-modernist poetry in England:


    1. The Intellectual Poetry
    2. The Scriptocentric poetry
    3. The interxtual poetry
    4. The intercultural poetry
