The Big Six of English romantic literature pertains to the six figures who contributed to the Romantic movement of late 18th-19th century England. They are listed here, with their major or most famous works. Although chronologically the first of these writers, William Blake was a relatively late addition to the list; prior to the 1970s or 80s, romanticism was known for its "Big Five."
- William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
- William Wordsworth, The Prelude
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Rime of the Ancient Mariner
- George Gordon, Lord Byron, Don Juan
- Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias
- John Keats, Ode on a Grecian Urn
Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, associate of many of the writers above and wife of Percy Shelley, was also a major influence on the movement.
