This book offers the intelligent new reader a critically evaluative
guide to Keats's major poems and letters, from a perspective which
aims to counter the historicist emphasis of recent critical work.
This book presents an evaluative critical account of all of Keats's
important poetry. The arrangement is chronological, and the
development of Keats's style and thematic preoccupations is set in
the context of the unfolding of his brief but intense personal
life. The ambition is to present the intelligent reader, who is
relatively new to the study of Keats, with an informative guide
which includes discussion of all of the principal events and
contexts in which Keats is read today. There is no detailed
overview of recent critical debate, but the book does develop an
argument that Keats was a writer deeply concerned with history, in
the social and political sense, but also in the senses of personal
and literary development. But in contrast with the main emphasis of
much recent criticism, the argument here is that Keats's engagement
with history took the characteristic form of an effort to represent
modes of experience outside history, and indeed outside time
itself.
