Keats, John
Brief biography: English romantic lyric poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. His father, Thomas Keats died young leaving his wife with four children. Keats's mother died of tuberculosis when he was barely 14, the same illness that several years later killed his brother Tom and finally Keats himself. Keats attended school at Enfield, where he made friends with the schoolmaster's son, Charles Cowden Clarke. It was Clarke who first introduced Keats to literature and encouraged him to write poetry. Keats studied to be an apothecary and spent six months at Guy's Hospital in London training as a surgeon. However, in 1816, encouraged by his friends, he decided to give up medicine to devote himself entirely to poetry. His first volume of poetry was published in March 1817. At the same time he began to suffer from persistent sore throats. September 1818 marked the beginning of the so called 'Great Year'. The Eve of St. Agnes, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Ode to a Nightingale and Ode on a Grecian Urn were all written during this period. He moved to Wentworth Place in Hampstead, the home of his friend Charles Armitage Brown. Brown only owned one half of the house; the other was owned by a friend Charles Dilke. Charles Dilke's side of the house was let to a widow, Mrs. Brawne, who had a daughter, Fanny, with whom Keats fell hopelessly in love in the winter of 1818.However, he became increasingly ill, his doctors and friends told him he would not survive therigors of an English Winter. Convinced that his death was inevitable, he turned to meet it with the courage he still possessed. His friends decided that he should go to Rome where there was a well-known Scottish doctor, James Clark, to look after him and where the climate was considered suitable for the treatment of the disease. His friend, the painter Joseph Severn, undertook to accompany him. His publisher, John Taylor, raised a subscription among his friends of £100 and with this and a £20 advance on his new book of poems Lamia, Keats and Severn left England on 30 September in the "Maria Crowther".Source: www.keats-shelley-house.org/ |
