 Re: literary periods
Hello Mad-ox
Here are a few characteristic works, out of the very many that could be listed.
To some extent, the poetry of the period is more "Edwardian" and "Georgian" than the prose, so I've included a few poets too.
I've marked with an asterisk the ones which I myself would read first; though other posters would probably disagree!

Belloc; De la Mare; Flecker; Hardy*; Kipling; Newbolt; Masefield; Bridges.
Prose
Beerbohm: Zuleika Dobson; Essays*
Bennett: Old Wives' Tale
