Detailed Explanation & Answer
The Cavalier poets were a group of English lyric poets associated with the court of Charles I (reigned 1625–1649). Notable poets include Robert Herrick, Richard Lovelace, Thomas Carew, and Sir John Suckling.
The Lake Poets were a group of English poets who lived in the Lake District of England. They are associated with the Romantic movement and include William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey. Their prominence was in the early 19th century, particularly around the 1790s to the 1830s.
The Imagist poets were part of a movement in early 20th-century Anglo-American poetry that favored precision of imagery and clear, sharp language. This movement began around 1912 and included poets like Ezra Pound, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), and Richard Aldington.
The Movement was a term coined to describe a group of British poets in the 1950s. These poets reacted against the perceived excesses of Modernism and aimed for more straightforward, unpretentious verse. Key figures include Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis, and Donald Davie.
