The term "Confederation Poets" refers to a group of Canadian poets active during the late 19th century, particularly around the time of Canada's Confederation in 1867. This group includes notable figures such as Charles G.D. Roberts, Archibald Lampman, and Isabella Valancy Crawford. Their work often reflects themes of nature, nationalism, and the Canadian landscape, contributing to the development of a distinct Canadian literary identity. These poets were instrumental in shaping Canadian literature by exploring the unique cultural and geographical aspects of Canada. Their poetry often celebrated the beauty of the Canadian wilderness and expressed a sense of pride in the emerging nation. The Confederation Poets laid the groundwork for future generations of Canadian writers.
