Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Lake Poets 

Final Jeopardy Explanation

The Lake Poets were a group of English poets who all lived in the Lake District of England, United Kingdom at the turn of the nineteenth century. These poets, including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey, are often associated with romanticism.

These poets are known as the Lake Poets because they were named after the scenic lakes in the Lake District, such as Windermere, Thirlmere, and Grasmere, which inspired much of their work from the beautiful natural scenery of the Lake District. This area, with its mountains, valleys, and lakes, were a significant influence on their work, and they often used it as a symbol of the beauty and power of nature.
