Autor

John Keats (1795–1821) was an English Romantic poet whose literary career was remarkably short, lasting only about five years, yet he remains one of the most beloved and influential figures of his era. Keats was born in London on October 31, 1795. Despite his early death at the age of twenty-five from tuberculosis, Keats' profound meditations on beauty and life in his poetry have cemented his legacy. His most notable works include 'Ode to a Nightingale,' 'Ode on a Grecian Urn,' 'Ode to Psyche,' and 'To Autumn.' These odes were penned during the annus mirabilis of 1819, which is widely regarded as Keats' most prolific period. Keats' style is characterized by sensual imagery and a contemplative ode structure that explores aesthetic experiences. His larger body of work, available in 'The Complete Poems of John Keats,' is a testament to his mastery of rhyme and meter, and his ability to infuse classical themes with personal emotional depth. Keats' influence on English literature is immeasurable; he is part of the pantheon of English Romantic poets, that includes figures such as Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Coleridge. Despite initially facing criticism and a lack of recognition, Keats' posthumous reputation grew, as did the appreciation of his unique talent for evoking complex emotional states through lyrical poetry. His dedication to the art, his philosophical musings on beauty and temporality, and his enduring verse continue to inspire and attract scholarly and poetic interest.
