Synopsis

This book is the complete poetical works of John Keats, together with a collection of his letters. John Keats (1795–1821) was an English poet. He was one of the most celebrated second-generation Romantic poets together with Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, despite the fact that he only produced poetry for four years. This fantastic collection constitutes a must-have for serious lovers of poetry, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: “The Life of Keats”, “Endymion: A Poetic Romance”, “Lamia”, “Isabella”, “The Eve of St. Agnes”, “Hyperion”, “Specimen of an Induction to a Poem”, “Caldore: A Fragment”, “To Hope”, “Imitation of Spenser”, “Ode to a Nightingale”, “Ode to a Grecian Urn”, “Ode to Psyche”, “Odes on Melancholy”, etc. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

About this title

About the Author

John Keats was one of those immensely gifted nineteenth century artists whose work became widely appreciated only after his death. Despite the critics of the day and the fact that death at the tender age of twenty-six prevented him from maturing further as a poet, Keats managed to create some of the greatest lyrical poems ever written.
