The Georgian Poets
Captions available
The idea
The Georgian poets, named for a series of anthologies called Georgian Poetry published early in George the Fifth's reign, wrote traditional, often rural verse. They included Brooke, Robert Graves, Edmund Blunden and Lawrence. Modernists such as Pound reacted against them.
In practice
Traditional, pastoral, anthologized.
Where people slip
Georgian is not Modernist.
