Collection: John Keats
ohn Keats (1795–1821) belonged to the second generation of English Romantic poets, alongside Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems were published for an extremely short time, as Keats died prematurely of tuberculosis at the age of 25. After his death, his fame grew rapidly; suffice it to say that by the end of the 19th century he had entered the canon of English literature. Today, his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analyzed in English literature, especially Ode to a Nightingale , Ode to a Grecian Urn , Dream and poetry and a sonnet On the First Look at Chapman's "Homer."
