14. The Lake Poets were a group of English poets inhabited the Lake
District of England United Kingdom at the close of the nineteenth century.
They followed no single "school" of thought which was known to have
existed. They were named, only to be uniformly ridiculed , by the Edinburgh
Review. They are considered to be part of the Romantic Movement.
The three main figures of what come to be known as the Lakes School
were William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey.
They were associated with several other poets and writers, including Dorothy
Wordsworth, Charles Lamb , Charles Lloyd, Hartley Coleridge, John
Wilson, and Thomas De Quincey.
The beauty of the Lake District has inspired many writers beyond the core
Lake Poets. These include their contemporaries Bryan Procter, Felicia
Hemans, and Walter Scott, as well as the labouring-class and slightly
later John Close, who catered particularly to the growing tourist trade. Other
poets include James Payn, and Norman Nicholson.

15. Recollection of the Lake Poets
Recollections of the Lake Poets is a collection of
biographical essays written by the English
author Thomas De Quincey. In the originally
published essays by De Quincey in Tait's Edinburgh
Magazine between 1834 and 1840, he provided some
of the earliest, best informed, and most truthful
accounts of the Lake Poets, William
Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert
Southey, and others in their circle. The essays
collectively "form one of the most entertaining
of Lakeland books”.
