Georgian poetry refers to a movement in English literature that emerged in the early 20th century, particularly between 1910 and 1936. It is characterized by its focus on nature, rural life, and emotional expression. Prominent poets of this movement include John Drinkwater, Edward Thomas, and Rupert Brooke, who often wrote in a lyrical and accessible style.
The term "Georgian" is derived from the reign of the Georgian monarchs in Britain, reflecting a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This poetry often emphasizes themes of beauty, mortality, and the human experience, making it relatable to a wide audience.
