Georgian Poetry

Georgian Poetry refers to a literary movement in early 20th-century Britain, roughly from 1910 to 1936, characterized by a focus on traditional forms, rural life, and a celebration of English countryside. Named after King George V, it emphasizes clarity, musicality, and a connection to nature, often reflecting patriotic and nostalgic themes. Prominent poets like Rupert Brooke and John Masefield contributed to this movement, aiming to evoke national pride and a sense of continuity amidst social change. While it celebrated craftsmanship and tradition, Georgian Poetry also responded to modern influences, shaping the development of modern English poetry.
