How does the role of the poet in the Victorian Age differ from the role of the poet in the Romantic Age?

Answer:

Romantic poetry, more so than Victorian, emphasized the power of the imagination and man's relationship to the supernatural. Tennyson enjoyed the challenge of resolving personal and social conflicts.
