On December 28, 1817, the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon hosts what he refers to in his diaries and autobiography as the immortal dinner. He wants to introduce his young friend John Keats to the great William Wordsworth and to celebrate with his friends his progress on his most important historical painting so far, Christ s Entry into Jerusalem, in which Keats, Wordsworth, and Charles Lamb, also a guest at the party, appear. After thoughtful and entertaining discussions of poetry and art and their relation to Enlightenment science, the party evolves into a lively, raucous evening. This legendary event will prove to be a highlight in the lives of these immortals.

A beautiful and profound work of extraordinary brilliance, The Immortal Evening takes this dinner as a lens through which to understand their lives and work and to contemplate the immortality of genius."
