Georgian Poetry

'Georgian' poetry has two meanings: poetry of Britain and Ireland written in the period 1910-1929; and poetry of a movement free of anxiety, self-doubt, self-hate, a movement that values natural simplicity, emotional warmth, and moral innocence as the introduction by James Reeves phrases it, and is set more in the countryside than in cities. So although Eliot, Pound and so on were increasingly influential in this period, they are not Georgian poets.
