The Complete Sonnets of John Keats (63 Poems in One Edition)

By John Keats

The Complete Sonnets of John Keats brings together 63 beautifully crafted poems by the renowned English Romantic poet. In this collection, Keats uses the sonnet form to explore themes of love, nature, mortality, and the power of art. His lyrical and evocative language, coupled with his deep emotional insight, makes these sonnets a true masterpiece of English literature. Keats' rich imagery and profound themes place him among the greatest poets of the Romantic era, alongside Wordsworth and Shelley. John Keats, a key figure in the Romantic movement, drew inspiration from classical literature, nature, and his own experiences to create his timeless works. His tragically short life and his intense focus on beauty and truth greatly influenced his poetic style, as seen in The Complete Sonnets. Keats' enduring legacy continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, making this collection a must-read for anyone interested in the Romantic poets and the power of language and emotion in poetry. I highly recommend The Complete Sonnets of John Keats to poetry lovers, literature enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to explore the depths of human emotion and experience through the exquisite artistry of one of the greatest poets in English literature.

John Keats

John Keats was born in London in 1795. He and his siblings were orphaned at a young age - his father died in a riding accident in 1804 and his mother died six years later. Keats then left Enfield school to train as an apothecary and a surgeon but he was to leave his profession to dedicate his time to poetry. His first volume, Poems, was published in 1817 and only two more volumes, in 1818 and 1820, were published during his lifetime. In 1818 he fell in love with his neighbour Fanny Brawne, but he broke off their engagement due to his increasing ill health and lack of funds. In 1820 he moved to Italy where he died a year later of tuberculosis, the disease that claimed his mother and his brother Tom.
