Collected Poems Of John Keats – The Originals

Description

I think I shall be among the English poets after my death.’ John Keats (1795–1821) prophesied as he started writing the blank verse epic ‘Hyperion’. He began life as the son of a stable-owner, and ended it as an unmarried, poor and tuberculosis-ridden young man. Despite his first volume of poetry being published only four years before he died at the age of twenty-five, he is regarded as one of the greatest poets of the Romantic movement, along with Lord Byron, P.B. Shelley and William Wordsworth. The Collected Poems of John Keats celebrates Keats’s great insight into and emotion about art and beauty, love and loss, suffering and nature. This wonderful collection presents Keats’s entire oeuvre, from his famous odes to magnificent sonnets. He went on to publish several books of poetry though much of his work remained unappreciated until the last few years of his life. The collection is ample proof that John Keats deservedly achieved his wish to be among the English poets after his death.
