This book offers an exciting reassessment of Keats with particular
emphasis on gender identity and sexuality. Traditionally, Keats has
been more readily associated with the 'feminine' than any other
canonical male English poet. This feminization was always likely,
given his tragically early death and the mythologizing which took
place soon after. In contrast, John Whale explores Keats's writings
from the perspective of masculinity and gender by placing them in
the context of contemporary friendship groupings and coterie
relationships. Whale addresses all the major poems and gives due
prominence to the letters. In so doing, he offers a new
understanding of Keats's exploration of poetry, gender and desire,
and provides an extended analysis of Keats's quest for poetic fame
in the face of the often conflicting forces of love and sexuality.
Clear, concise and insightful, this is an essential guide to one of
the best-known Romantic poets.
