John Keats

1795 - 1821

John Keats was an English poet who was an important figure along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley in the Romantic period. His fame grew posthumously as critics were not overwhelmingly fond of his work during his lifetime. His works are primarily characterized by the use of sensual imagery and culminated in the six great odes he wrote in 1819. Keats published three works during his lifetime: Poems (1817), Endymion (1818) and Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems (1820).
