One of the most notable romantic poets of the early nineteenth century, John Keats had a poetic career lasting less than a decade. And in this short time, he produced some of the greatest verses of all time. This collectable edition brings together his early poems along with his finest sonnets and remarkably flawless odes composed in the years before his death. It includes ‘ Imitation of Spenser’, ‘ To Lord Byron’, ‘ A Fragment’, ‘ Oh! how I love, on a fair summer’ s eve’, ‘ I stood tip-toe upon a little hill’, ‘ Sleep and Poetry’, Endymion, ‘ Isabella’, ‘ Lamia’, his beautiful lyric odes composed in 1819, and both the versions of Hyperion. Each poem is a specimen of his vibrant imagination, sensational lyric, and thoughtful recognition and appreciation of beauty in everything. "

Rich melodic works in classical imagery of British poet John Keats include " The Eve of Saint Agnes ," " Ode on a Grecian Urn ," and " To Autumn ," all in 1819. Work of the principal of the Romantic movement of England received constant critical attacks from the periodicals of the day during his short life. He nevertheless posthumously immensely influenced poets, such as Alfred Tennyson. Elaborate word choice and sensual imagery characterize poetry, including a series of odes, masterpieces of Keats among the most popular poems in English literature. Most celebrated letters of Keats expound on his aesthetic theory of "negative capability." Wikipedia page of the author
