About this book

Few poets left so much in so short a life. This volume gathers the work of John Keats, the English Romantic who died at twenty-five yet produced some of the most sensuous and enduring verse in the language. Here are the great odes, among them 'Ode to a Nightingale,' 'Ode on a Grecian Urn,' and 'To Autumn,' alongside the ballad 'La Belle Dame sans Merci,' the lush narrative of 'The Eve of St. Agnes,' and the unfinished epic 'Hyperion.' Keats prized what the imagination seizes as beauty and truth, writing of love, mortality, and the natural world with an intensity that later poets never stopped drawing on. A free PDF and EPUB edition are available to download.

About the author

John Keats

John Keats (1795-1821) was an English poet and, with Byron and Shelley, one of the central figures of the second wave of Romanticism. Trained as an apothecary, he abandoned medicine for poetry, and though critics savaged his early work, he died in Rome believing himself a failure.
