Anglo-Irish poetry (late 17th–19th centuries)
Poetry in English from Ireland before the Revival gave it a programme — Swift's savage verse, Goldsmith's Deserted Village, Moore's Irish Melodies, the Young Ireland ballads, and Mangan at the edge of all of it.
Also the period of Cecil Frances Alexander, whose All Things Bright and Beautiful is sung far more often than her poems are read.
