<P> Mary Shelley (1797--1851) is remembered as the author of Frankenstein (1818). </P> <P> Though John Keats shared Byron and Shelley's radical politics, "his best poetry is not political", but is especially noted for its sensuous music and imagery, along with a concern with material beauty and the transience of life . Among his most famous works are "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", ", "To Autumn". Keats has always been regarded as a major Romantic, "and his stature as a poet has grown steadily through all changes of fashion". </P> <P> Another important poet in this period was John Clare (1793--1864), the son of a farm labourer, who came to be known for his celebratory representations of the English countryside and his lamentation for the changes taking place in rural England . His poetry has undergone a major re-evaluation and he is often now considered to be among the most important 19th - century poets . </P> <P> George Crabbe (1754--1832) was an English poet who, during the Romantic period, wrote "closely observed, realistic portraits of rural life (...) in the heroic couplets of the Augustan age". Modern critic Frank Whitehead has said that "Crabbe, in his verse tales in particular, is an important--indeed, a major--poet whose work has been and still is seriously undervalued ." </P>
