Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that the artistic output of the English Romantics (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Constable, Turner, Blake, etc) represents the peak of human cultural achievement?

As far as high culture goes - I think multiple modernists gave some romantic writers a run for their money like Hamsun, Joyce, Conrad, Faulkner, Eliot and Yeats. (I'll add Welty in here because I think she's undermentioned and underappreciated - but also kind of a modernist in a postmodernist scene).
