Thomas Parnell
Well known for his gothic style of poetry, he was considered a graveyard poet; this meant his writing style was one of morbidity. Popular the 18th century; graveyard poets would write about or reference the dead, skulls and coffins, epitaphs and worms; all subjects that revolve around the graveyard scene. As writing techniques progressed, graveyard poetry expressed more of a feeling for the sublime and the uncanny and showed interest in ancient English poetry and folk poetry. Graveyard writers are often recognised in the Gothic Literacy genre or the romantic movement.
