I need some notes about elegy poetry from the 18th century.I need famous poets and thier works.

An elegy is a poem which is typically mournful and
lamenting (normally used in funerals).  Originated by the Greek, the elegy contains
three specific elements: lament, praise, and then
consolation.

The lament section of the poem details the
grief the survivor of the lost feels.  The praise section offers praise for the
deceased. The consolation section offers closure for the speaker regarding the loss of
the loved one they are suffering from.

Elegy poetry from
the 18th century (The English Graveyard Poets) includes the following poets and
poems:

- Thomas Gray- "Elegy Written in a Country
Churchyard" (1750)

- Edward Young- "Night Thoughts"
(1742)

- Robert Blair- "Grave"
(1743)

- Thomas Parnell- "A Night-Piece on Death"
(1721)

These poets wrote during the pre-Romantic period and
their poetry focused upon death and mortality. Basically, all things which revolved
around the graveyard.
