Selected Poetry

Opis książki:

John Keats`s abiding poetic legacy is one of extraordinary and triumphant richness. Before the moment of `self - will` when he declared his intention to be a poet, Keats (1795 - 1821) had chosen the medical profession. His training influenced his conceptiono of poetry as an art that could mitigate the world`s suffering. Keats`s generous spirit triumphed over personal sadness, finding expression in his concept of life as a `vale of Soul - making` rather than a vale of tears. He died aged 25, having published three volumes of poetry, while many of his contemporaries quickly recognized his genius, snobbery and political hostility led the Tory press to vilify him.
