Poetry Terms

Also review poems by: Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelly, Keats - pp. 1234, 1197, 1194, 933, 1224, 780.

There are only a couple of questions naming names, and they aren't any of the ones we didn't cover. Read some poems by the other poets to find examples of the terms - you need to recognize examples, not just know definitions.

Bedford Links for information on authors and terms.
