I agree that my comment is anecdotal and reflective of my personal experience, but it looks like there are few people in this thread for whom it was also the case. Probably an important piece of context is that English is my second language and I got an education in another language. By the end of my schooling I knew about William Blake and Robert Burns, for example, but not Keats or Tennyson. Same way Pushkin comes to mind as a Russian poet for people outside of Russia, but fewer people would know about Lermontov or Tyutchev.
