Book Description
"The Eve of St. Agnes" is a poem (42 stanzas). It is widely considered to be amongst his finest poems and was influential in 19th century literature. The poem is in Spenserian stanzas. The title comes from the day (or evening) before the feast of Saint Agnes (or St. Agnes' Eve). St. Agnes, the patron saint of virgins, died a martyr in 4th century Rome. The eve falls on January 20th; the feast day on the 21st. The divinations referred to by Keats in this poem are referred to by John Aubrey in his Miscellanies (1696) as being associated with St. Agnes' night. Keats based his poem on the superstition that a girl could see her future husband in a dream if she performed certain rites on the eve of St. Agnes; that is she would go to bed without any supper, undress herself so that she was completely naked and lie on her bed with her hands under the pillow and looking up to the heavens and not to look behind. Then the proposed husband would appear in her dream, kiss her, and feast with her. 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.

John Keats: Ode to a Nightingale (Unabridged)

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
This carefully crafted ebook: "John Keats: Ode to a Nightingale (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Ode to a Nightingale" is either the garden of the Spaniards Inn, Hampstead, London, or, according to Keats' friend Charles Armitage Brown, under a plum tree in the garden of Keats House, also in Hampstead. According to Brown, a nightingale had built its nest near his home in the spring of 1819. Inspired by the bird's song, Keats composed the poem in one day. It soon became one of his 1819 odes and was first published in Annals of the Fine Arts the following July. "Ode to a Nightingale" is a personal poem that describes Keats's journey into the state of Negative Capability. The tone of the poem rejects the optimistic pursuit of pleasure found within Keats's earlier poems and explores the themes of nature, transience and mortality, the latter being particularly personal to Keats. The nightingale described within the poem experiences a type of death but does not actually die. Instead, the songbird is capable of living through its song, which is a fate that humans cannot expect. 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.

Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
John Keats' 'Lamia' is a poetic masterpiece that delves into the themes of love, illusion, and the consequences of desire. Written in a lush and vivid style, Keats weaves a tale of passion and tragedy that captivates readers with its rich imagery and emotional depth. Set in a mythical world where reality and fantasy collide, 'Lamia' showcases Keats' mastery of Romantic poetry and his ability to evoke intense emotions through his verses. John Keats, one of the key figures of the Romantic movement, was deeply influenced by both classical literature and the natural world. 'Lamia' reflects Keats' fascination with beauty, mythology, and the complexities of human relationships. His own experiences of love and loss undoubtedly played a role in shaping the themes and characters of the poem, adding a personal touch to his exploration of the human psyche. I highly recommend 'Lamia' to readers who appreciate lyrical poetry and philosophical depth. Keats' timeless work continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the profound insights of one of the greatest poets of the Romantic era.
