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.
