Ted Hughes was an English poet born in 1930 in Mytholmroyd, UK. He exhibited an early interest in writing and was publishing poetry by age 15. Hughes met his future wife, Sylvia Plath, in 1956 and they married soon after, having two children together. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 1962 following Plath's suicide. Hughes later had a child with his partner Assia Wevill, who also committed suicide. Hughes died in 1998 after an 18-month battle with cancer, leaving behind a significant body of work including poetry collections, novels, and children's literature that drew heavily from his personal experiences.

According to William Wordsworth poetry is the powerful overflow of spontaneous feelings. Wordsworth describes his main intention to write Lyrical Ballads is to choose incidents from real life and add a colour of imagination so that ordinary things may be represented in an unusual fashion.
Matthew Arnold (24 December 1822 – 15 April 1888) was an English poet and cultural critic who worked as an inspector of schools. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby School, and brother to both Tom Arnold, literary professor, and William Delafield Arnold, novelist and colonial administrator.
During this time Arnold wrote the bulk of his most famous critical works, Essays in Criticism (1865) and Culture and Anarchy (1869), in which he sets forth ideas that greatly reflect the predominant values of the Victorian era.
