Par autoru

John Keats (1795–1821) stands as one of the most celebrated English Romantic poets. His oeuvre, although remarkably short due to his early death from tuberculosis at the age of 25, left an indelible mark on English literature. Born in London, Keats pursued medical studies before fully devoting himself to poetry. Heavily influenced by the classics, his writing is characterized by sensual imagery and a profound appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. 'Hyperion,' an epic poem published in 1820, exemplifies Keats' ambitious lyrical voice and mastery of blank verse. It draws from Greek mythology, depicting the fall of the Titans and the rise of the Olympian gods, capturing the transformative power of suffering and the plight of the artist. Though his work sold poorly during his lifetime and critics initially dismissed it, Keats' reputation grew posthumously. His letters and the 'Odes' written in 1819, including 'Ode to a Nightingale' and 'Ode on a Grecian Urn,' are considered pivotal in the Romantic canon. Keats' poetry extols the imagination and the senses, establishing him as a counterpoint to the rationalism of the Enlightenment and heralding the modern poetic form with its introspective, personal expression.
