This book presents ten new chapters on John Keats's medical
imagination, beginning with his practical engagement with
dissection and surgery, and the extraordinary poems he wrote during
his 'busy time' at Guy's Hospital 1815-17. The Physical Society at
Guy's and the demands of a medical career are explored, as are the
lyrical spheres of botany, melancholia, and Keats's strange
oxymoronic poetics of suspended animation. Here too are links
between surveillance of patients at Bedlam and of inner city
streets that were walked by the poet of 'To Autumn'. The book
concludes with a survey of multiple romantic pathologies of that
most Keatsian of diseases, pulmonary tuberculosis.
