Keats

See all formats and editions

The outline of the story of John Keats's life is well known: the archetypal life of the Romantic genius, critically spurned and dying young.

This biography aims to enrich the facts with an understanding of how Keats fitted into the intellectual and political life of his time.

It includes detailed examination of significant friendships with anti-establishment figures such as Hazlitt and Hunt, and the closeness of Keats's own spirit to the ferment all around, as expressed in his poems.

The book also presents information about his schooldays and medical training.
