Keats »s Boyish Imagination [PDF ebook] 

For many readers, John Keats »s achievement is to have attainted a supreme poetic maturity at so young an age. Canonical poems of resignation and acceptance such as  »To Autumn » are traditionally seen as examples par excellence of this maturity. In this highly innovative study, however, Marggraf Turley examines how, for Keats, an insistence on  »boyishness » in the midst of apparent mature imagery is the very essence of his political contestation of the literary establishment.
