Poems of John Keats

The poems of John Keats are some of the most beautiful and passionate ever composed in the English language. Claire Tomalins new selection of Keatss verse reveals this great Romantic poet in all his genius, showing his emotional depth, sensuous description and soaring imagination to the full. This volume includes the masterpieces of his short career - including Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to a Nightingale and Ode on Melancholy (written within weeks of each other), The Fall of Hyperion and To Autumn. Here too is the timeless love poetry inspired by Keatss passionate, tragic affair with Fanny Brawne, as well as other verses of such beauty and generosity of spirit that they have fulfilled the wish of Keats, who died from tuberculosis at just twenty-five, that he should be among the English poets after my death.
