The letters of John Keats written between 1816 and 1821 are passionate, revealing, and sensitive. Furthermore, it was within the context of these letters that many of the poems first appeared.
Perry Keenlyside has selected some of the most revealing of Keats’ letters to reveal the state of mind and attitudes of one of the most loved poets in the English language.
John Keats (1795–1821) was an English romantic poet. Along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he was one of the key figures in the second generation of the romantic
movement, despite the fact that his work had been in publication for only four years before his death. During his life, his poems were not generally well received by critics; however, after his
death, his reputation grew to the extent that by the end of the nineteenth century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He has had a significant influence on a diverse range
of later poets and writers. His poetry is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popularly read and analyzed.
