The history of British poetry, preferably in detail, with background characteristics of representative works and so on, thank you!

Britain is a small island nation bobbing in the lurid waves of the North Atlantic, one-sixtieth the size of the United States. However, it has laid several cornerstones for the modern world (at least the Western world): Britain is the first country to achieve industrialization, becoming the pioneer of modern big industry, thus pushing the whole world into the industrial age; Britain is also the first country to achieve bourgeois political change, setting up a template for capitalist democracy in the West; and the spirit of factualism, rationality and science of the British has laid the foundation of modern scientific thinking and enriched the human race. The British spirit of truthfulness, rationality and science has laid the foundation of modern scientific thinking and enriched the spiritual treasury of mankind. In the field of poetry, the British also have reasons to be proud: the profundity and diversity of British poetry have always been praised by the world; the several climaxes in the development of British poetry - the Renaissance poetry in the late 16th century, the Romantic poetry in the early 19th century, and the modernism in the first half of the 20th century - have become the symphony of the world's poetry. -have become magnificent movements in the world's poetic symphony; and a group of fine English poets, represented by Shakespeare, have been able to stand unashamedly in the forefront of the world's poetic genius.

Among the peoples of the world, the English are known for their steadiness. It focuses on the practical and not delayed in fantasy, long tolerance and not love to go to extremes. Such a national psychology and cultural qualities of the development of its literature along the long river of history slowly, in the middle of the sense of not being cut off and blocked. Tradition and change are harmoniously intertwined; on the one hand, the development of literature is driven by continuous innovation in content and form, and on the other hand, a strong sense of tradition constrains every change so that it does not become a wild horse. In the conflict between tradition and change, take the road of mutual integration, which is a remarkable feature of the history of the development of British literature.
