This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 92.251.201.22 (talk) at 11:53, 2 September 2013 (I removed the reference to Irish poetry. Simply because some Irish poetry is in English does not make it British. Some Irish poetry is also in the Irish language, which makes it linguistically Irish as well as nationally Irish.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

British poetry is the field of British literature encompassing poetry from anywhere in the British world (whether of the British Isles, the British Empire, or the United Kingdom). The term is rarely used, as almost all such poets are clearly identified with one of the various nations or regions within those areas.

Types of poetry which might be considered British poetry include:

• English poetry
• Scottish poetry (see Scottish literature)
• Welsh poetry
• Jèrriais poetry
• Guernésiais poetry
• Manx poetry
• Cornish poetry

• British poetry
