00222--The Lake School of Poetry [English Literature free notes]


The Romantic Poetry can be classified into three groups: The Lake School, The Scott Group, and The Byron Group.  Although Wordsworth was born in the Lake district he lived there only for a short period, along with S.T.Coleridge and Robert Southey he is called a lake poet.  This term Lake School was first used in the Edinburgh Review, August, 1817.
