John Collick, in his article “Desire on the ‘The Eve of St Agnes’”, explores the idea of language and symbolism of desire in the poem ‘The Eve of St Agnes’ by John Keats. Collick holds the notion that Keats was a Romantic Era poet who viewed life as a pessimist and vicariously exemplified that in his works. Throughout his article, Collick critiques Keats’ ambiguity. Keats is known as ‘a poet concerned with dreams, visions, and images…’ (Collick) however in ‘The Eve of St Agnes’ it 's quite odd…

John Keats is a mature poet of the 19th century who was considered to be part of something called the “Cockney School of Poetry” (Norton 902). This was a group of poets who were targeted in a non-hospitable manner by Blackwood’s Magazine in 1817. John Keats, despite the hateful reviews he had been receiving and despite the hard loss of close relatives he was dealt, entered into what I consider the peak of his “brief” poetic career- writing “masterpiece followed by masterpiece,” (Norton 902) and…

THE INTUITIVE BOND BETWEEN KEATS AND BATALVI A born-romantic, lonely and passionate singer, like Keats and Shelley, Batalvi had a intuition of his untimely doom : "This lyric of mine took birth with me, And with me it's to sojourn to Heaven. I'll sing my own song and depart the next dawn." Lovelorn poet Batalvi, physically also resembled Keats. And almost all his lyrics were addressed to some "La Belle Dame Sans Merci." During his…

In both John Keats’ Bright Star and Robert Frost’s Choose Something Like a Star, the authors center their poems on star; however, through theme and style, they lack resemblance. In fact, Frost’s poem includes an illusion from Keats’ poem, which does bring a common theme into each of the works. Although both of the poems have a central subject of a star, they can be compared and contrasted through their themes and structures. As a sonnet, Bright Star consists and is rigidly structured upon an…

The voiceovers are the actors Wishaw and Cornish reading out Keats and Fanny’s letters to each other.

The music used is naturalistic – Mozart’s Serenade K361 – played by one, or occasionally two, cellos. This is…

Throughout his work, Keats uses imagery and symbolism to portray autumn as both a beautiful and transformative time of year. Throughout To Autumn, Keats provides vivid descriptions to…

because Autumn is my favorite time of year, but as I read I am struck by how Keats captures the tangibility of the season and can 't help but wonder if it isn 't his favorite time of year also. Keats seems to have created a human persona for the term by using phrases like 'bosom-friend "and "hair soft lifted...". While perusing each stanza, I have the feeling that I am walking through Autumn. It 's as if the language Keats uses is drawing me onward in a journey through the period and that…

In the incredible ode, “To Autumn”, John Keats uses the literary devices duality and personification to capture the audience’s attention. He talks about the differences in autumn and it becomes clear that no matter the scale of revolt, or whatever happens, the cycle of life will continue endlessly. This is obvious when one looks at the phrases in each stanza, which makes the slight contrasts Keats’ uses purposeful. By looking at duality and personification, we can see the major differences in…

John Keats: A Look into the Work of a Great English Poet John Keats has undeniably left a mark on literature. However, one of the most important things to know about this poet, is that he only lived until the age of twenty-five. Tuberculosis took his life away at a very young age. Probably the most ironic thing, as well as unfortunate, is the fact that when he died he truly believed that once his life was over, no one would remember him or his poetry. He even had the words, “Here lies one…
