The Graveyard School

Gloomy meditations on mortality characterize the poetry of the Graveyard School, which flourished in 18th-century England, often set in churchyards. This movement played a crucial role in paving the way for the Romantic period and significantly influenced the Gothic novel. Despite its importance, critical attention to the Graveyard Poets has been limited, and this anthology addresses the gap by compiling their works for the first time, highlighting their impact on literature.
