Which English poets influenced Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve’s early poetry?

Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve’s early poetry was influenced by several English poets, particularly following a visit to England in 1828. This trip deepened his appreciation for the works of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who were not widely known in continental Europe at the time.1

Furthermore, his own poetic volumes, Vie, poésies et pensées de Joseph Delorme (1829) and Les Consolations (1830), incorporated stylistic elements derived from the works of William Cowper and George Crabbe. These influences contributed to a deliberate flatness and perceived uncouthness in his verse, which stood in stark contrast to the more grandiose style favored by his contemporaries, such as Victor Hugo and Alfred de Vigny.1
