English Romantic poet John Keats was born on October 31, 1795, in London.

It was with Coleridge that Wordsworth published the famous Lyrical Ballads (J. In his lifetime, he received four Pulitzer Prizes for his poetic works. "Ruddy" as he was often affectionately referred to, was actually brought up by a local woman in the service of his parents (called an ayah) and his first language was therefore Hindustani.

Shelley, who was fond of Keats, had advised him to develop a more substantial body of work before publishing it.

Famous English Poets

William Shakespeare: was born in 1564. The Bronte Sisters: the three Bronte sisters (Anne, Charlotte and Emily) from Haworth in Yorkshire are well known Victorian poets and novelists, like many contemporary female writers, they originally published their poems and novels under male pseudonyms.

Walter Whitman: was born May thirty first in 1819 in Long Island.

The oldest of four children, he lost both his parents at a young age. He stopped writing “Hyperion” upon the death of his brother, after completing only a small portion, but in late 1819 he returned to the piece and rewrote it as “The Fall of Hyperion” (unpublished until 1856). He is one of the most noted poet during the Romantic Age.

And most known for breathing life into fictitious character such as "Lucy Gray" to aid him in his loneliness. After his mother’s death, Keats’s maternal grandmother appointed two London merchants, Richard Abbey and John Rowland Sandell, as guardians. Wordsworth’s mother died when he was eight—this experience shapes much of his later work.

Although Wordsworth worked on The Prelude throughout his life, the poem was published posthumously.
