Overview
One of the most prominent poets of the English Romantic movement, John Keats held a brief yet significant writing career. In six years, he accomplished more than many writers could hope to achieve in a lifetime. Keats employed powerful sensory imagery to create odes, sonnets, and letters that have had a lasting literary impact. Keats’ poems and letters rank among the most popular and most studied in the English canon.
Included in the Select Works of John Keats is a collection of over 60 of Keats’ most significant poems, as well as 164 of his personal letters to friends and family, which T. S. Eliot says are “certainly the most notable and most important [letters] ever written by any English poet.” The collection also includes a concise, accessible study of John Keats’ significance by Mrs. Frances M. Owen.

About John Keats
John Keats (1795–1821) was one of the pillars of English Romanticism, alongside Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. In just six years of writing, Keats made an astonishingly brief transition from apprentice to master, and established himself among the best poets in the English canon. His poems were in publication for only four years before his death, but they continue to be popular nearly 200 years later. Keats’ poetry is known for its exceptional sensory imagery, but T. S. Eliot said of Keats’ letters, “There is hardly one statement of Keats’ about poetry which . . . will not be found to be true, and what is more, true for greater and more mature poetry than anything Keats ever wrote.” Keats died of tuberculosis at age 25.
