In 1711, Alexander Pope (1688-1744) published his Essay on Criticism in which he set out in verse his agreement with the theory that poetry involved imitation, that its subject should be conveyed through the poem's metre (rhythm) and sound.
TIS NOT ENOUGH NO HARSHNESS GIVES OFFENCE,
THE SOUND MUST SEEM AN ECHO TO THE SENSE...
Later, with the rise of the Romantic movement, the emphasis in poetry shifted to imagination and expression. William Wordsworth (1770-1850) spoke of the processes behind poetry as 'the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings'.
Another of the great Romantics was Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), a poet of wide range and a passionate critic of privilege. Some of the ideas circulating after the French Revolution are expressed in his Song to the Men of England.
WHEREFORE FEED, AND CLOTHE, AND SAVE,
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE,
THOSE UNGRATEFUL DRONES WHO WOULD
DRAIN YOUR SWEAT -- NAY, DRINK YOUR BLOOD...
The towering poetic figure for the Victorians was Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-92), whose poems were known by a great part of the populace. Works such as The Lotus Eaters were much admired.
It has been said that no more accomplished craftsman than Tennyson has ever written English verse. However, it is only recently that his reputation has begun to revive after the eclipse of Victorian taste in the early twentieth century.
