John Keats Libri

Intorno al tema della bellezza ruota tutta la poesia di Keats, che non si compiace però di esasperazioni estetizzanti: al contrario, s'intride di dolore, trema di commozione, toccando le corde più profonde dell'animo umano. Keats è forse il primo poeta "moderno": nel suo malinconico distacco risuona la nota delicatissima di chi ha concentrato tutto il fuoco dell'anima nella ricerca di un ritmo inferiore, d'una sognante contemplazione della realtà.

This book is the complete poetical works of John Keats. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English poet. He was one of the most celebrated second-generation Romantic poets together with Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, despite the fact that he only produced poetry for four years. This fantastic collection would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf, and constitutes a must-have for serious lovers of poetry. Contents include: "The Life of Keats", "Endymion: A Poetic Romance", "Lamia", "Isabella", "The Eve of St. Agnes", "Hyperion", "Specimen of an Induction to a Poem", "Caldore: A Fragment", "To Hope", "Imitation of Spenser", "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode to a Grecian Urn", "Ode to Psyche", "Odes on Melancholy", etc. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

This collection comprises the works of John Keats, one of the greatest English poets and contemporary of Byron and Shelley. The collection includes "Endymion", "Lamia", "Isabella" and "Hyperion".

This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship fo Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Keats's poetry and prose - all the major poems complemented by a generous selection of Keats's letters - to give the essence of his work and thinking.

For this reason, this volume presents the writings in the order of publication rather than composition. Readers can trace the poems through letters, reviews, and related material chronologically interleaved with the texts themselves. This edition offers extensive apparatus to help readers fully appreciate Keats s poetry and legacy, including an introduction, headnotes, explanatory annotations, and a wealth of contextual documents. Criticism includes twelve important commentaries on Keats and his poetry, by Paul de Man, Marjorie Levinson, Grant F. Scott, Margaret Homans, Nicholas Roe, Stuart Sperry, Neil Fraistat, Jack Stillinger, James Chandler, Alan Bewell, and Jeffrey N. Cox.

A collection of Keats' poems selected by Nicholas Roe, the editor.

The books in this A Level poetry series contain a glossary and notes on each page. The approach encourages students to develop their own responses to the poems, and an A Level Chief Examiner offers exam tips. This text contains poems and letters by Keats in chronological order.
