Georgian poetry (sh)




Body of lyrical poetry produced in Britain in the early 20th century.

Desiring to make new poetry more accessible to the public, Rupert Brooke and Sir Edward Marsh produced five anthology volumes
containing works by Robert Graves, Walter de la Mare, Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), and others
called Georgian Poetry (1912-22). "Georgian" was meant to suggest the opening of a new poetic age with the accession in 1910 of George V; however, much of the Georgians' work was conventional, and the name came to refer to backward-looking literature rooted in its time.
