This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature. During the 19th century, critics deemed them unworthy of attention, distractions from his poetic works. During the 20th century they became almost as admired and studied as his poetry, and are highly regarded within the canon of English literary correspondence. T. S. Eliot described them as "certainly the most notable and most important ever written by any English poet." Keats spent a great deal of time considering poetry itself, its constructs and impacts, displaying a deep interest unusual amongst his milieu who were more easily distracted by metaphysics or politics, fashions or science.Table of Contents:Biographies:Life of John Keats by Sidney ColvinLife, letters, and literary remains, of John Ketas by Richard Monckton MilnesComplete Letters:To Messrs, Taylor and HesseyTo Jane ReynoldsTo Charles Wentworth DilkeTo Joseph SevernTo John TaylorTo Benjamin Robert HaydonTo Benjamin BaileyTo John Hamilton Reynolds To George and Thomas KeatsTo Fanny KeatsTo James RiceTo Leigh HuntTo Richard WoodhouseTo Thomas KeatsTo James ElmesTo Mrs. BrawneTo Charles Cowden ClarkeTo George and Georgiana KeatsTo Percy Bysshe ShelleyTo Mrs. ReynoldsTo Georgiana KeatsTo Mariane and Jane ReynoldsTo Mrs. WylieTo Charles Brown…
