John Keats (P. 788) Literary Analysis (P. 789)
“When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” John Keats John Keats (p. 788) (1795-1821) Those who leave a lasting imprint on the world do not always live long. When the life of a groundbreaking figure is cut short, it leaves the world asking, What more might this person have achieved, if only he or she had lived longer? John Keats is such a figure. Although he died at age twenty-five, Keats left his indelible mark on literature, and this makes us wonder what more he might have accomplished had he lived longer. A Defender of Worthy Causes Unlike his contemporaries Bryon and Shelley, John Keats was not an aristocrat. Instead, he was born to working-class Londoners. As a child, he received attention for his striking good looks and his restless spirit. Keats developed a reputation for fighting, but always for a worthy cause. It was not until he and his school-master’s son, Charles Cowden Clarke, became friends that Keats developed an interest in poetry and became an avid reader. From Medicine to Poetry In 1815, Keats began studying medicine at a London hospital. He had already begun writing poetry, but he earned his pharmacist’s license before abandoning medicine for the literary world. In 1818, he published his first major work, Endymion, a long poem that critics panned. Their negative reviews were due in part to Keats’s association with the radical writer Leigh Hunt. The reviews also reflected the uneven quality of the verse itself. Despite the critical rejection, Keats did not swerve from his new career. -

Stapylton Final Version
1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach. -

Genevieve Theodora McNutt 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the work of antiquary and scholar Joseph Ritson (1752-1803) in publishing significant and influential collections of early English and Scottish literature, including the first collection of medieval romance, by going beyond the biographical approaches to Ritson’s work typical of nineteenth- and twentieth- century accounts, incorporating an analysis of Ritson’s contributions to specific fields into a study of the context which made his work possible. -

Classical Studies in England, 1810-1825 Horsfall, Nicholas Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1974; 15, 4; ProQuest pg. 449 Classical Studies in England, 1810-1825 Nicholas Horsfall N DECEMBER 1944, Lieut.-Col. Basil Elmsley Coke placed in the I hands of Westminster Schooll the surviving academic and personal papers of the Revd Peter Elmsley, his kinsman2 and an Old Westminster. Elmsley (1774-1825) was already in his mid-thirties "the best Greek scholar yet produced by Oxford," and in some respects was to be compared with Porson himself.3 Rich, obese, gossipy and genial, he corresponded widely: John Franklin the ex plorer and Francis Jeffrey of the Edinburgh Review were alike on cordial terms with him, though Jeffrey's free-thinking later became intolerable.4 Accidents of transmission and survivalS have dictated that the letters of classical interest in the Westminster collection should be largely from the hands of J. H. Monk, C. J. Blomfield and Thomas Gaisford. There are slightly under a hundred letters from these three correspondents; I select, excerpt and omit without hesitation: the letters contain much that is trivial and tedious. We learn little about Gaisford (1779-1855) from his letters, contain ing as they do little gossip and less odium philologicum. They are con cerned largely with the scholarly problems of the moment, problems which the thoroughness of German editors and the scope of modern libraries have rendered capable of immediate solution. One comment, 1 To whose successive headmasters, John Carleton and John Rae, I am most grateful for access to these papers and for permission to publish from them. -

John Keats 1 John Keats John Keats Portrait of John Keats by William Hilton. National Portrait Gallery, London Born 31 October 1795 Moorgate, London, England Died 23 February 1821 (aged 25) Rome, Italy Occupation Poet Alma mater King's College London Literary movement Romanticism John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Biography Early life John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. There is no clear evidence of his exact birthplace.[3] Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st.[4] He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez.[5] Another son was lost in infancy. -
