John Keats Books
John Keats stands as a central figure of the English Romantic movement. Despite facing consistent critical attacks from contemporary periodicals during his brief life, his posthumous influence on subsequent poets, such as Alfred Tennyson, has been profound. His poetry is distinguished by its elaborate word choice and rich sensory imagery, particularly evident in a series of odes that represent his masterpieces and endure as some of the most beloved poems in English literature. Keats's letters, which articulate his aesthetic theory of "negative capability," are celebrated for their insights into artistic creation.
This collection comprises the works of John Keats, one of the greatest English poets and contemporary of Byron and Shelley. The collection includes "Endymion", "Lamia", "Isabella" and "Hyperion".

John Keats's abiding poetic legacy is one of the extraordinary and triumphant richness. This selection, chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition of Keats's major works, demonstrates the remarkable growth in maturity of his verse, from early poems such as Imitation of Spenser' to later work such as The Eve of St Agnes' and the famous Odes.
One of the greatest English poets, John Keats (1795–1821) created an astonishing body of work before his early death from tuberculosis at the age of 26. Much of his poetry consists of deeply felt lyrical meditations on a variety of themes—love, death, the transience of joy, the impermanence of youth and beauty, the immortality of art, and other topics—expressed in verse of exquisite delicacy, originality, and sensuous richness.This collection contains 30 of his finest poems, including such favorites as "On first looking into Chapman's Homer," "The Eve of St. Agnes," "On seeing the Elgin Marbles," "La Belle Dame sans Merci," "Isabella; or, the pot of Basil" and the celebrated Odes: "To a Nightingale," "On a Grecian Urn," "On Melancholy," "On Indolence," "To Psyche," and "To Autumn." These and many other poems, reproduced here from a standard edition, represent a treasury of time-honored poetry that ranks among the glories of English verse.
