John Keats Selected Poems
€0,00
First published in 1817, John Keats’s poetry developed with extraordinary intensity during a career cut short by his death at twenty-five. From the sensuous world of Endymion to the haunting meditations of Ode to a Nightingale and To Autumn, these poems explore beauty, mortality, imagination and the fragile pleasures of earthly life.
A central figure of English Romanticism, Keats transformed classical subjects and everyday sensations into poetry of remarkable musical richness. His idea of “negative capability”—the ability to remain within uncertainty without forcing an answer—continues to illuminate his work. This selection offers an intimate encounter with a poet whose influence extends far beyond his brief life.
