The younger
generation of English Romantics were Londoners through and through. They were
known as the 'Cockney School of Poetry'.

The word
Romanticism makes us think of mountain tops and stormy seas, but the younger
generation of English Romantics (above all, John Keats) were Londoners through
and through. They were even mocked as ‘the Cockney School of Poetry’.
Jonathan
Bate will track Keats to Hampstead and tell of the extraordinary circle of
writers – opium-eater Thomas De Quincey, essayist Charles Lamb, master-critic
William Hazlitt – who wrote for The London Magazine, until its gifted editor
was killed in a duel with a rival critic.
