In high school we read Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth and a number of sonnets. In college - Intro. to British Litt. - we read King Lear and the sonnets. From The Romantic Period we read some Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats. No Byron, but this was only an introduction and I was not an English major.

Among the American poets, we read a good bit of Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Frost.
