This unit explores the transition of English poetry from the 17th century to the dawn of Romanticism. It focuses on the evolution of poetic forms and themes, beginning with John Milton's influence on the epic tradition and the subsequent development of lyric and satiric poetry during the 18th century. Key figures such as Dryden, Pope, and Gray are examined, highlighting their contributions to neoclassicism and pre-Romantic sensibilities. The unit also considers the shift from rigid classical forms to more personal, emotional expressions that paved the way for Romanticism.
