All 19th century poetry seems the same to me. I can't tell Bryon and Shelley from Whitman and Thoreau.

What are the major stylistic differences between the poets and movements from that century? I recognize that poetry was divided between narrative works (Poe, Coleridge) and abstract modern stuff (Whitman) but that's it.

My knowledge of all four of them are incredibly superficial, but you should at least be able to identify Whitman by his free verse (i.e. no rhyme, no set form except) and his "muh america"
