Project Gutenberg Consortia Center presents Poets' Collection.

Chronological Index Use the chronological index to find authors from a related period of time. For the most part, authors are grouped in a period according to when they produced most of their poetic works. Thus, an author born in 1778 is probably found in the 1800-1850 period. The actual birth/death dates may be found by following the link to the specific author. 1350 Geoffrey Chaucer 1500 Nicholas Grimald Stephen Hawes Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey Michelangelo John Skelton Thomas, Lord Vaux Sir Thomas Wyatt 1550 Nicholas Breton Thomas Campion Henry Constable Samuel Daniel Richard Devereux, Earl of Essex Sir Edward Dyer George Gascoigne Robert Greene Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke Sir John Harrington John Heywood Thomas Heywood William Hunnis Thomas Lodge John Lyly Christopher Marlowe John Marston Anthony Munday Harold Munro Thomas Nashe George Peele Sir Walter Ralegh William Shakespeare Sir Philip Sidney Robert Southwell Sir Edmund Spenser Chidiock Tichborne Thomas Tusser Edward De Vere 1600 Sir Robert Aytoun Anne Bradstreet Alexander Brome William Browne of Tavistock Thomas Carew John Cleveland Abraham Cowley Richard Crashaw William Davenant Sir John Davies Thomas Dekker John Donne Michael Drayton William Drummond of Hawthornden John Fletcher Louis Golding James Graham, First Marquis of Montrose William Drummond of Hawthronden George Herbert Robert Herrick John Hoskins Ben Jonson Henry King Richard Lovelace Thomas Middleton John Milton Francis Quarles Thomas Randolph James Shirley Sir John Suckling Henry Vaughan Izaak Walton John Webster George Wither Sir Henry Wotton 1650 Lascelles Abercrombie Fredric James Alden Richard Aldington Anne Reeve Aldrich Alqamah Anakreon George Arnold Kenneth H.
