John Keats (1795- 1821) was one of the leading 19th Century Romantic poets, alongside Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Although his verse found little appreciation during his own lifetime, Keats is now regarded as one of England's most beloved poets. Through powerful imagery, unbridled emotion and expressive language, the poems collected here reveal the tumultuous life and the flashes of brilliance of the young man. Included in this volume are such classics as 'Ode to a Nightingale', 'Bright Star', 'The Eve of St. Agnes' and 'Lamia'.
