Description
A rare glimpse into the mind of a brilliant young poet through his beautifully written letters These extraordinary letters give the fullest and most poignant record we have of John Keats’s aspirations as a poet, his life as a literary man about town, his close relationship with his siblings, and, later, his passionate, jealous, and frustrated love for Fanny Brawne. With an insightful introduction and notes by renowned Keats scholar John Barnard, this is an indispensable companion to the works of one of the greatest poets of all time. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
