Selected, with an Introduction by Howard Moss, this Volume collects many of Keats' best know works. From the Introduction: "Because Keats' development was irregular and covered a short span of time, his maturation as an artist was erratic. The period of the great poems, the Odes, 'The Eve of St. Agnes', 'Lamia', –- the period between January and May, 1819 –- hangs in space, a kind of miracle between his immature work and the inferior work that followed it.... Keats' reputation as a poet would be as secure as it is today if we had no other poems than these."
