Georgian Poets were a group of early 20th-century British poets linked to the Georgian Poetry anthologies published during the reign of George V, beginning in 1912. Their work often favored clear lyric expression, nature, rural life, and traditional forms rather than the harder modernist style that followed. Some poets later disliked the label, which was never a strict school.
Group of poets whose work was published in a series of volumes between 1912-1922 by Rupert Brooke, Harold Monro and Edward Marsh. It includes: D. H. Lawrence, John Masefield, Edmund Blunden, Siegfried Sassoon, W.H. Davies, Walter de la Mare, Ralph Hodgson, Edward Thomas, James Stephens, Andrew Young, J.C.Squire, James Elroy Flecker, A.E.Housman and Robert Graves. Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Blunden later objected to being labelled 'Georgian'.
Example
Edward Thomas and Walter de la Mare are often grouped among the Georgian Poets because their verse uses simple diction, close observation of nature, and a lyrical, traditional tone.
