20th CENTURY ENGLISH POETRY Modernist poetry in English started in the early years of the 20th century with the appearance of the Imagists. In common with many other modernists‚ these poets wrote in reaction to the perceived excesses of Victorian poetry‚ with its emphasis on traditional formalism and ornate diction.
