Produktbeschreibung
"Ode to a Nightingale" is either the garden of the Spaniards Inn, Hampstead, London, or, according to Keats' friend Charles Armitage Brown, under a plum tree in the garden of Keats House, also in Hampstead. According to Brown, a nightingale had built its nest near his home in the spring of 1819. Inspired by the bird's song, Keats composed the poem in one day. It soon became one of his 1819 odes and was first published in Annals of the Fine Arts the following July. "Ode to a Nightingale" is a personal poem that describes Keats's journey into the state of Negative Capability. The tone of the poem rejects the optimistic pursuit of pleasure found within Keats's earlier poems and explores the themes of nature, transience and mortality, the latter being particularly personal to Keats. The nightingale described within the poem experiences a type of death but does not actually die. Instead, the songbird is capable of living through its song, which is a fate that humans cannot expect. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature.

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.
