A derogatory term for Romantic poets from London, such as John Keats, Leigh Hunt, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. The phrase was coined in a harsh review published in Blackwood's Magazine in October 1817 by an anonymous writer who derided the poets' lack of lineage and refinement. All of the poetry collected together was described as "a kind of street-ballad poetry, written in the colloquial dialect of the city streets". The term "cockney school" later came to be applied to other groups of poets, such as the Romantics and the Parnassians. However, it was first used to describe only those three writers who were born or lived most of their lives in London. Keats is considered the father of the cockney school because of his influence on other poets of the era. In particular, he inspired Byron to write his own version of the urban ballad called Don Juan. Other members of the cockney school include Leigh Hunt, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas Campbell, James Montgomery, and William Collins. They all wrote poems in the English language but they came from very different backgrounds. Some were well-off parents while others were not so lucky. Some were educated at prestigious schools while others were not. Some traveled abroad, while others never left London. However, they did have one thing in common: They all wrote about their experiences living in London.
