Poets with tag Fireside poets:

Domestic themes and messages of morality presented in conventional poetic forms. Used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside.

The name "Fireside Poets" is derived from that popularity: their writing was a source of entertainment for families gathered around the fire at home.

Only Emerson rejected the traditional European forms that his contemporaries often utilized and instead called for new American forms and emphasized content over form.
