The idea
The ode, the ballad and the sonnet all returned, and blank verse came back for long meditative poems. Unit eight defined all four. The couplet did not disappear but it stopped being the default, which is a formal marker of the change.
In practice
Ode, ballad, sonnet, blank verse.
Where people slip
The couplet stopped being default.
