I have read [this](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/7691/best-practice-for-stories-based-on-other-writers-stories) similar question but it does not really address my question. What if I want to write a novel or a short story that is inspired by (or outright a retelling of) a popular poem written by a great poet who has died more than a hundred years ago, as a tribute to the poet? If I ever published that novel or story, I obviously intend to add the poets name and reference right after the title. How do copyrights apply here?
