Offers a clear analysis of this key concept in literary studies and
aesthetics, which is essential to the study of Romanticism and
English poetic tradition in general. 'Negative capability', the
term John Keats used only once in a letter to his brothers, is a
well-known but surprisingly unexplored concept in literary
criticism and aesthetics. This book is the first book-length study
of this central concept in seventy years. As well as clarifying the
meaning of the term and giving an anatomy of its key components,
the book gives a full account of the history of this idea. It
traces the narrative of how the phrase first became known and
gradually gained currency, and explores its primary sources in
earlier writers, principally Shakespeare and William Hazlitt, and
its chief Modernist successors, W. B. Yeats and T. S. Eliot.
Meanwhile, the term is also applied to Keats' own poetry, which
manifests the evolution of the idea in Keats' poetic practice. Many
of the comparative readings of the relevant texts, including "King
Lear", illuminate the interconnections between these major writers.
The book is an original and significant piece of scholarship on
this celebrated concept.
