Answer:

Wordsworth and Coleridge

Step-by-step explanation:

William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge are considered to be the poets responsible for launching the Romantic movement, thanks to their Lyrical Ballads. Wordsworth's most famous work is The Prelude. He was Britain's poet laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850. On the other hand, Coleridge's most famous poems include The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan. He was also a scholar in the fields of philosophy (particularly German idealist philosophy), transcendentalism, and theology.
