"Modern poets tend to avoid the epic style poetry of the past - but there can be no doubt that many of them were influenced greatly by these poems. This is a selection of the most well known epic poems from before the 20th century. While it is tempting to add the likes of Howl by Ginsberg and modernize the list, it would mean removing at least one of the great epics listed here - so 20th century poetry will be left for another list."Link
