Two centuries after his birth in October 1795, John Keats occupies
a secure place in the canon of great literature of the western
world. But for much of the nineteenth century and even during
periods of the twentieth century, his right to such a position was
not so firmly established. On the bicentenary of Keats's birth,
various Italian scholars, along with specialists from
English-speaking countries, decided to take advantage of the
occasion not only to render homage to a poet whose greatness now
seems unchallenged but also to accept his continuing challenge to
his readers. The contributors to this volume re-examine some of the
harshest criticisms of Keats, from Byron onwards, and some of the
unconditional exaltations of the poet in order to discover possible
sites between the two for new critical impulses and fertile
re-evaluations of his achievement. Under five headings - Romantic
Truth, Textual Readings, History and Myth, Keats and Other Poets
and Painting and Music - the essays in this book appraise the
historical-cultural contexts that nurtured Keats's creativity;
discuss the influences and interrelationships among Keats and other
poets; and consider Keats's artistry as revealed in the analyses of
particular texts.
