Про автора
John Keats (1795-1821) remains one of the most significant figures in the canon of English poetry, his work emblematic of the Romantic era. Suffering an early death at the age of twenty-five, Keats nonetheless contributed an impressive corpus of poetry characterized by its sensual imagery and contemplation of beauty and mortality. His literary style is notable for its rich visual and tactile language, as well as its employment of the ode form, which earned him critical acclaim posthumously, though his work received little attention during his lifetime.
Keats was born in London and trained as an apothecary, but his passion for poetry eventually prevailed over his medical pursuits. His major works include the odes ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ and ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn, ‘ as well as the epic poem ‘Hyperion’ and the narrative ‘Lamia.’ Keats’ letters also stand as significant literary achievements, offering insight into his poetic philosophy and the Romantic movement. ‘John Keats – The Man Behind The Lyrics: Life, letters, and literary remains’ serves as both a testament to his enduring legacy and a comprehensive examination of his life and work. Despite his short career, Keats’ profound musings on beauty, truth, and artistic expression have immortalized him as a master of the Romantic tradition and one of England’s greatest poets.
