Autorenporträt

John Keats (1795–1821) was one of the most prominent poets of the early 19th century, a significant figure in the Romantic movement, known for his lyrical and evocative poetry that explores beauty, love, and mortality. In his brief life, Keats composed a body of work that has endured as a cornerstone of English literature. Notably, his 1819 composition 'Ode to a Nightingale' stands as a testament to his masterful use of imagery and reflects his deep philosophical musings on the transient nature of joy and the eternal allure of art. Keats' literary style is characterized by its rich sensory language, classical references, and contemplative tone. Despite his work receiving mixed reviews during his lifetime, his posthumous reputation grew, and he is now regarded as one of the greats of the English Romantic poets. Keats' other works such as 'Endymion,' 'The Eve of St. Agnes,' and 'La Belle Dame sans Merci' further exhibit the passionate intensity and sublime craftsmanship that define his poetic voice. His career was tragically cut short by tuberculosis at the age of 25, yet he left a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate readers today.
