The Love Poems of John Keats: In Praise of Beauty

Often called the greatest English poet after Shakespeare, Keats had a lifelong preoccupation with early death. This sense of mortality, along with the poet's famous, unrequited love for Fanny Barawne, sparked dozens of finely written sonnets and lyrics of love. This beautifully crafted collection contains some of the most heartfelt of Keats' personal poems. This selection of twenty-six poems also presents an introduction to the life of Keats, notes on the individual poems, and ten illustrations.
