Posthumous Keats

A Personal Biography

Beschreibung

This is the result of 20 years of reflection on the part of the author on the enduring afterlife of one of England's greatest Romantic poets. Keats, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 25, saw his mortality as fatal to his poetry and therein, Plumly argues, lies his tragedy.
