About the Author

John Keats (1795–1821) was an English Romantic poet whose work is characterized by sensual imagery and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. Despite his tragically short life, Keats is now regarded as one of the key figures of the second generation of Romantic poets, alongside Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Keats' major works, including the odes 'Ode to a Nightingale' and 'Ode on a Grecian Urn,' are noted for their vivid imagery, emotional intensity, and exploration of beauty and mortality. His autobiographical writings provide an intimate glimpse into his personal experiences, aspirations, and his deep appreciation for the aesthetic. Keats' poetic style evolved from the grandeur of his early works like 'Endymion' to the more mature and reflective style seen in his odes. His life and writings have continually drawn the interest of literary scholars and poetry lovers alike, and his letters are among the most popular and well-regarded by any English poet. The posthumous publication of 'John Keats: Autobiographical Writings' continues to captivate readers with its poignant introspections and eloquent expressions of personal suffering and poetic genius. Although his work was not widely recognized during his lifetime, Keats' legacy has grown substantially, and he remains one of the most beloved and studied figures in English literature.
