Lots of Blake and Lyrical Ballads. Good stuff. The 1810s have Keats' Odes, lots of Shelley and some Byron, however. Hard to choose between them.

>1910-1920: Modernism and memes start appearing
I think >>7993696 is the stronger decade, there.

>1970-1980: Birth of the postmodern meme
I'd probably pick the 50s for late modernism and postmodernism: Beckett, Borges, Nabokov, Gaddis.
