Like many artists, Keats has received far more attention and success in death than he enjoyed when alive, as reflected in the final epitaph he wrote for his gravestone: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water”. Although he had an incredibly short career, Keats is remembered as the foremost among the second generation of Romantic poets. His unique observations and interpretations of beauty – across nature, art, human experience and suffering – and his exquisite craft have secured for him a firm place in the English poetry canon. This collection of poetry showcases some of his most read and loved works.
