It refers to a school of poetry formed by Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey, three poets living in Cumberland Lake District in northern England.
Because the three of them once lived in seclusion in Cumberland Lake area in northwest England, and lived by the two lakes of Grassmill and Winkler Ridge, they praised the lakes and mountains with poems, so they were called "Lake Poets".
They all lived in the lake area of Cumbria, Wordsworth's hometown in the northwest of England for many years, wrote many pastoral poems praising the lakes and mountains, and all had the ideological tendency of "returning to nature".
In the Edinburgh Review of August 18 17, their pen pal Francis Jeffrey nicknamed it "lake poets" or "Lakeside School".
Byron reduced them to "people by the lake".
Generally speaking, Huxiang poets represent the negative romantic tendency, while Devil School represents the positive romantic spirit.
Although the Hu School poets have made contributions in the struggle against classicism and made profound achievements in the art of poetry, their historical position is far less important than that of the retreat school.
They yearned for the French Revolution in their early years, then turned to a conservative position and advocated the restoration of the feudal patriarchal clan system.
In literature, * * * opposes the classical tradition, yearns for sentimentalism and praises nature.
Deny the realistic urban civilization by recalling the simplicity of the Middle Ages.

His masterpiece is Tinden Abbey.
Coleridge's masterpiece is Ode to an Ancient Ship, which is full of mysterious and grotesque colors.
Southey's long poem Phantom of the Trial is a flattering work of the British royal family.
