This collection features a selection of 30 of John Keats' most outstanding poems, including beloved works such as 'On first looking into Chapman's Homer,' 'The Eve of St. Agnes,' 'On seeing the Elgin Marbles,' 'La Belle Dame sans Merci,' 'Ode to a Nightingale,' 'Ode on a Grecian Urn,' and 'To Autumn.' These poems, reproduced from a standard edition, represent a treasury of English poetry, noted for its delicacy, originality, and sensuous richness.
John Keats was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. They were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century, he was placed in the canon of English literature, strongly influencing many writers of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1888 described his "Ode to a Nightingale" as "one of the final masterpieces".
