John Keats: Complete Poems

This volume gathers Keats's poetry from the brief working years before his death in 1821: early verse, the long romance Endymion, the unfinished Hyperion poems, narrative pieces such as The Eve of St. Agnes and Lamia, the odes of 1819, and the sonnets. Recurring subjects are myth, seasonal change, the pause of a moment of beauty or thought, and the pressure of love and illness. Speakers address a nightingale, an urn, melancholy, and autumn as much as any named beloved. The book is a complete poetic corpus in chronological span, not a novel and not a selection of the odes alone.

Quarter-bound in dark green leather, cloth sides printed with a repeating image. Dark green slipcase.
