    Especially unfortunate for a collection on textuality, the essays are marred by typographical errors (“David Scan Kastan”, “feministm”, “Sommer- ville College”, “modem” for “modern”, “arid” for “and”). ;WUMWN \PMÅZ[\[M\WN ¹[MUQVITºM[[Ia[[PW_\PMQZIOMJ]\QV[WUM ways this is one of the pleasures in reading the volume. McGann’s essay from 1985 asks, “What is the relevance of textual and bibliographical stud- ies to literary intepretation?” and asserts “This is not a question that has been posed in a systematic way very often”. These statements would be unthinkable in the recent essays in the collection, a change due in a large part to McGann’s own work over the last two decades. He suggests that, faced by the same textual feature, literary historians and editors ask differ- ent questions.

  • John Keats 1 John Keats
    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.

  • Bloody Poetry: on the Role of Medicine in John Keats's Life and Art
    Caroline Bertonèche, On the Role of Medicine in John Keat’s Life and Art Bloody Poetry: On the Role of Medicine in JoHn Keats's Life and Art Caroline Bertonèche To see Keats only as yet another British Romantic poet, author of the odes and the Hyperions, who died in exile, after one last fit of tuberculosis, is to forget that he spent as many years – six years to be precise – of his short life studying medicine as he did writing poetry. First a young apprentice to an apothecary, then a medical student from 1811 to 1816, Keats chose to start his career as an artist without completely burying his scientific past, making sure never to get rid of his old books on medicine – these books that were to previously shape his intellect before he even started putting together his collections of poems. Satisfied to have had the ability to distance himself from a rather contrasted form of education in order to favour a unified conception of knowledge, Keats will always seem to go back to those first readings as a source of reference. They are indeed the foundations of this unique rapprochement between medicine and poetry which, in British Romanticism, is certainly specific to him. It takes a visionary painter and a close friend, John Hamilton Reynolds, to remind us, in his very axiomatic letter of 3 May 1818 that Keats will never cease to praise the medical world as a means to keep “every department of knowledge” alive. From this pattern of now two complementary backgrounds, he therefore extracts the binary substance of one “great whole”1: Were I to study physic or rather Medicine again, — I feel it would not make the least difference in my Poetry; when the Mind is in its infancy a Bias is in reality a Bias, but when we have acquired more strength, a Bias becomes no Bias.

  • Disquietude Or the Leap Into the Sea
    Disquietude or the Leap into the Sea Teresa F. A. Alves* For João Flor With Whom I Read Novalis and Keats for the First Time There is so much in Night of a Thousand Blossoms (2004) that evokes the lyric voice and the pseudo-urban landscape of Frank X. Gaspar’s previous three volumes of poetry that I again chose disquietude as the undertow that pulls this poet’s imagination in a given direction and offers a focus around which I will tentatively organize my own reading of his creative work.1 This is nowhere more evident than in the ebb and flow of lines patterned upon irregular length and rhythm, which like human breathing are ruled by the cadence of emotion; or in the hitching of the highly visual world of common perception to a dreamlike sense of experience that challenges the reader to a new awareness of things; or, finally, in the spiritual endeavor made language, which weaves lyricism to the vernacular and achieves a complex web of meaning and speculation. The tripartite structure of Night of a Thousand Blossoms is, as in the preceding volumes of poems, the device by means of which Gaspar organizes and entwines intra-and intertextual resonance, each of the sections being introduced by epigraphs. These, when on the same page, make inroads into each other’s significance, and when introducing a section are thematically relevant. Epigraphs from Novalis and Frank O’Hara open this volume. The temporal gap between the Romantic German poet and the Postmodern American one is overcome by their common incidence on revelation, explicit in the passage from Hymnen an die Nacht (1800) and implicit in the revisitation of a dialogue with the sun in “A True Account Of Talking To The Sun At Fire Island” (1958).
