Over the course of his short life, John Keats (1795-1821) honed a
raw talent into a brilliant poetic maturity. By the end of his
brief career, he had written poems of such beauty, imagination and
generosity of spirit, that he had - unwittingly - fulfilled his
wish that he should 'be among the English poets after my death'.
This wide-ranging selection of Keats's poetry contains youthful
verse, such as his earliest known poem 'Imitation of Spenser';
poems from his celebrated collection of 1820 - including 'Lamia',
'Isabella', 'The Eve of St Agnes', 'Ode to a Nightingale' and
'Hyperion' - and later celebrated works such as 'La Belle Dame sans
Merci'. Also included are many poems considered by Keats to be
lesser work, but which illustrate his more earthy, playful side and
superb ear for everyday language.
