I have Read this short account of John Keats’s and Fanny Brawne’s thwarted love story. had a thousand Keats and Fanny, who were newly neighbours, first met in a troubled time for the poet: his mother had died of tuberculosis, soon to be followed by his youngest brother Tom. The teenaged Fanny was not considered beautiful, but she was spirited and kind and Keats was struck by her coquettish sense of fun. Her family’s financialkisses, difficulties influencedfor her with a strong sense of practicality. However, she did fall for young Keats, who was neither well off nor making money through his writing. Her mother against better economical judgement could not prevent a love match, though not without the opposition of Keats’s friends, the two got engaged. Yet, further obstacles were to come. Keats knew his only hope of marrying Fanny was to succeed in writing, since he was often asked by his brother George for moneywhich loans. Inwith February my1820, however, the couple’s future was threatened by illness: Keats had been troubled by what looked like a cold, but later turned out to be a sign of tuberculosis. He was well aware of his worsening condition so at some point he wrote to Fanny that she was free to break their engagement, but she passionately refused to Keats’s relief: “How hurt I should have been hadwhole you ever acceded soul to what I is, notwithstanding, very reasonable!” In an attempt not to upset the poet with too strong emotions, his friend Charles Brown nursed him diligently and kept Fanny at a distance.

  • Keats in His Poem Endymion to Describe Sexual Ecstasy Keats: Biographical / Historical Context It Is Not Certain When the Poem Was Written

Some suggest it was written in October 1818 and say it was about Isabella Jones, but most argue it was written in July 1819, on another visit to the Isle of Wight (where he wrote On the Sea in 1816), and that it was about Fanny Brawne. Look at the contextual information below and consider how you might we apply it to a reading of the poem. In June 1818 Keats wrote the following in a letter to his brother Tom, describing Windermere in the Lake District. ‘the two views we have had of [the lake] are of the most noble tenderness – they can never fade away – they make one forget the divisions of life; age, youth, poverty and riches; and refine one’s sensual vision into a sort of north star which can never cease to be open-lidded and stedfast over the wonders of the great Power.’ Do you think this is sufficiently convincing to argue the poem was inspired by the Lake District rather than the Isle of Wight? As for who the poem was inspired by there are, as alluded to above, two theories: Robert Gittings believes that the lover that Keats is referring to is Mrs Isabella Jones, with whom Keats supposedly had an affair.

    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.

  • Adonais by Percy Bysshe Shelley
    Adonais by Percy Bysshe Shelley MEMOIR OF SHELLEY. The life of Percy Bysshe Shelley is one which has given rise to a great deal of controversy, and which cannot, for a long time to come, fail to be regarded with very diverse sentiments. His extreme opinions on questions of religion and morals, and the great latitude which he allowed himself in acting according to his own opinions, however widely they might depart from the law of the land and of society, could not but produce this result. In his own time he was generally accounted an outrageous and shameful offender. At the present date many persons entertain essentially the same view, although softened by lapse of years, and by respect for his standing as a poet: others regard him as a conspicuous reformer. Some take a medium course, and consider him to have been sincere, and so far laudable; but rash and reckless of consequences, and so far censurable. His poetry also has been subject to very different constructions. During his lifetime it obtained little notice save for purposes of disparagement and denunciation. Now it is viewed with extreme enthusiasm by many, and is generally admitted to hold a permanent rank in English literature, though faulty (as some opine) through vague idealism and want of backbone. These are all points on which I shall here offer no personal opinion. I shall confine myself to tracing the chief outlines of Shelley's life, and (very briefly) the sequence of his literary work. Percy Bysshe Shelley came of a junior and comparatively undistinguished branch of a very old and noted family.

  • THE RELATION BETWEEN HUMAN and NATURE in JOHN Keats' Odes
    The relation between human and nature in John KeatS’ oDeS: an expReSSive StuDy Agung Nalendra Janiswara Christinawati ABSTRACT This study attempts to discuss the relation between human and nature in John Keats’ Odes as the representation of Keats’ awareness in nature and the changing of nature in the era of industrialization, especially in England. This study will discuss three odes, “Ode to a Nightingale”, “Ode to Psyche”, and “To Autumn” released during the English Romantic Period. The main concern of this study is to analyze Keats’ awareness of nature and the relation between human and nature which presented in these three odes written by John Keats. To analyze the topic of discussion, this study applies Expressive theory suggested by Abrams. This study finds out that Keats expresses nature as the source and the core of this world. He emphasizes that the nature must be protected and conserved to sustain human’s life and also the world. This relation between human and nature affects Keats in writing his odes as the portrayal of his feeling toward nature and social condition in his period. Keywords: Awareness; Industrialization; Nature; Ode; Environment; World 1. Introduction The beauty of nature is a very special theme in English Romantic period, when nature was neglected by people because of industrialization. John Keats brought different perspective about beauty in his odes. It is assumed that this study portrays the condition of human and nature that is affected by industrialization and disappearance of the nature as the important part of life in this world. John Keats brings his odes to the reader and society to remind that the environment is very important for human being.

  • This Essay Takes As Its Basis Four Odes by John Keats and Treats Them As A
    “BURSTING JOY’S GRAPE” IN KEATS’ ODES DANIEL BRASS This essay takes as its basis four odes by John Keats and treats them as a sequence of poems in which he develops, discusses and elaborates the themes of permanence and transience, both at the level of an individual human life and in a larger, transgenerational, cosmic view of time. Underlying the four poems – “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, “Ode on Melancholy”, “To Autumn” and “Ode to a Nightingale” – is the idea of fullness or satisfaction, an intense climax of experience preceding the melancholia that inevitably attends the decline from such a heightened moment of experience. The pattern, I suggest, is founded on the sexual experience: increasing excitement and stimulation leading to a climax followed by a post-coital decline which Keats describes in various guises in each of the poems. In addition to this appearance of the orgasm in their structure, sexual imagery is prevalent throughout the odes. While the deployment of devices and images in poetry may be a deliberate choice on the poet’s part, analysis of a collection of works by an author reveals underlying structural features that recur throughout the work. The orgasm is one such feature prominent in Keats’ imagination. Individual sexual images may be intentional, but the structure of the odes points to a less overt occurrence of these sexual structures. Keats wrote the four odes I will be considering during 1818, the year after he met Fanny Brawne, with whom he immediately fell in love. Moreover, some critics have suggested it was during this time that Keats became aware that he was suffering from tuberculosis and that he would not live very much longer.1 Biographical interpretation of these poems does not, in itself, offer much insight into them, but Keats’ emotional life and his experience of illness must have influenced his psyche and may have produced the fascination with questions of presence and absence, 1 Don Colburn, “A Feeling for Light and Shade: John Keats and His ‘Ode to a Nightingale’”, Gettysburg Review, 5 (1992), 217.

  • Modes and Genres in the Poetry and Letters of John Keats: an Analysis from the Standpoint of Deconstructive Phenomenology and Feminist Discourse
    MODES AND GENRES IN THE POETRY AND LETTERS OF JOHN KEATS: AN ANALYSIS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF DECONSTRUCTIVE PHENOMENOLOGY AND FEMINIST DISCOURSE ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ©octoi of ^ijilosopijp V, : -•• - 'fan IN ENGLISH ^i- ft' I ? *^ BY NAHIDAKHTAR \rt-^\.'^/ u.. WIS" !••'• UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF Dr. SEEMIN HASAN DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 ABSTRACT In Keats'S- poetry there is an abundance of women. They are an mtegral part of his poetry and letters. They enter into all aspects of his writing and cannot be contained in a single definition. This thesis examines the changing determinations of women in Keats's creative processes. Keats presents them in individual as well as universal identities. Keats conceives the poetic muse as feminine. In the poems of 1817, the feminine entity is an inseparable part of nature. Nature and natural objects are visualized as feminine. The present work also conducts an intensive study of the feminine power and energy acknowledged by Keats throughout the odes. In each ode, the woman presents the central metaphor. In the 'Ode to Psyche', Psyche is represented as the goddess by the poet whose status has been marginal for a long time. The poet restores the lost status of Psyche. She is the ideal beauty that inspires the poet to create. The nightingale, in the 'Ode to a Nightingale', is a bird that fascinates the poet through its voice. In 'Ode on a Grecian Urn', the urn assimilates the qualities of serenity and maternity. She is a friend and companion to mankind.
