Off the theme of the thread for a moment, I wonder how many people read Sir Walter Scott's "Marmion" or his other poems, "Bonnie Dundee" for instance. Initially he was a poet. Now his novels are what are still read.
But 19th Century Romantic British Poetry was dominated by Shelley, Keats, and Byron, and in Scotland by Burns. Sir Walter was lucky to have the fall back of the novels.
