Overrated
>>23619402Proof?
>>23619402I don't get the wank that he's way better than Byron or Shelley. They're about the same.
>>23619449Been thinking that too and I'm reading an anthology of all 3. Keats can often be so romantic and gushing as to be cloying.
>>23619402all British poets are overratedEnglish language is not fit for poetry
>>23619449>>23619517Keats's best poems are better than Shelley's and Byron's (and almost all other English poets', for that matter), but the more typical Keats poem is on par with those by the other romantics.>>23619553Frog or Latinx?
>>23619718What would you say are his best? I really like Ode to a Nightingale and some of his sleep poems.
>>23619553the anti-english agenda here is really bizarre
>>23619402>>23619438>>23619449>>23619718Scott > Keats > Coleridge >Shelley > Byron > Blake >WordsworthEveryone in britain at the time recogonised scott as the greatest romantic poetHe is the most influential poet of the 19th century bar none
>>23619732The eve of St agnes is his best followed by Calidore and la belle dam sans merciHis odes are overrated
>>23619553
>>23619553Frenchie, we can agree that your country and England produced wonderful poets without silly shitposting. Any praise English poets received was well deserved, and well earnt.
>>23619744wordsworth is of course the most influential. not that being influential makes someone a better poet.
>>23619744>Blake and Wordsworth at the bottomWrongest.
>>23619745Oh yeah I remember St Agnes was good I think some of it went over my head tho
>>23619744>Blake after Shelley and ColeridgeYour list is otherwise fine.
>>23619744Based Scott appreciator.
>>23619737And it’s funny, posting on an American board with English speakers
His reputation rests on a handful of poems, maybe ten at the most. But those few are as good as anyone has ever managed. >>23619744Big fan, but he's not even the best Scottish romantic poet (Burns of course). Scott is the best Romantic at long narrative poetry - only Byron comes close to him in that respect. Small wonder he went on to be a great novelist, he has a knack for pace and plot. /lit/izens who love the Iliad and medieval stuff are recommended Marmion.Blake, Keats, Shelley never really cracked the long poem, the Prelude isn't really narrative in that way.
>>23621117>Keats never cracked the long poemHe died before he could
>>23619744Wholly braindead.
>>23619402No, he's not, but he was a fool.
>>23619553>ESL opinions>they're shitReturn to the forums of your forefathers, barbarian.
