In Latin literature, Augustan poetry is the poetry that flourished during the reign of Caesar Augustus as Emperor of Rome, most notably including the works of Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. In English literature, Augustan poetry is a branch of Augustan literature, and refers to the poetry of the 18th century, specifically the first half of the century. The term comes most originally from a term that George I had used for himself. He saw himself as an Augustus. Therefore, the British poets picked up that term as a way of referring to their endeavours, for it fit in another respect: 18th-century English poetry was political, satirical, and marked by the central philosophical problem of whether the individual or society took precedence as the subject of the verse.

  • En la literatura inglesa, la poesía augusta es una rama de la literatura augusta, y se refiere a la poesía del siglo XVIII, específicamente la de la primera mitad de siglo. El término viene de cómo se llamaba el rey Jorge I a sí mismo, pues se veía como un nuevo "Augusto". Por lo tanto, los poetas ingleses usaron el término como una manera de referirse a sus propias producciones, porque les parecía que encajaba con la Antigüedad en otro aspecto: la del siglo XVIII era política, satírica y marcada por el problema filosófico central de quién debe ser el sujeto central de la poesía: si el individuo o la sociedad.
