It's probably a stupid question but I thought I'd check, although I've already voted for post WW2. However if it was specifically English poets, which it probably isn't then I would have voted for the Romantics simply based on Blake and Wordsworth.
Poetry written in English, so you votes right 
Wordsworth is an enigma….the greatest of the romantics in his time, unread today.
