Inhaltsangabe
John Keats (1795-1821) is one of the greatest and most loved of all English poets. Beyond the richness of his work, his poignant life has helped to define the modern paradigm of the poet's story. The son of a stable keeper, Keats was orphaned as a boy. He trained as a doctor but gave up his profession for poetry. He contracted tuberculosis while nursing his brother through the fatal illness, and died in Rome at the age of twenty-five. Ardent, generous, and noble, he is a figure of tragic dimension. Andrew Motion's dramatic and astute narration of one of the representative lives in English literature is the first new look at Keats in a generation. Unlike previous biographers, Motion pays close attention to the social and political contexts in which Keats came to maturity, and interleaves Keats's life with his work, making incisive use of Keats's letters.

Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XIX, 636 p.: Ill. With slight signs of handling, otherwise a good copy without markings. - Introduction (excerpt): Keats: his name releases a flood of familiar images. He is the apostle of 'beauty' and 'truth'. He is the dedicated sensualist, sometimes swooning and softly pillowed, sometimes feasting greedily on luscious fruit and jellies. He is the poor orphan whose 'march of passion and endeavour' is fraught with hardships. He is the lover who loses his life almost as soon as he finds it. He is always pitifully young but full of extraordinary adult wisdom. Suffering and striving combine at every stage of his career. So do selflessness and self-fulfilment. Other writers have seized on him as the embodiment of their own ambitions and sometimes of their distress and neglect. Readers have made him a byword for the poetic identity. At once pathetic and sublime, his story distils familiar human fears, and realises the most noble ideals. Its fascination is endless; its power to move and inspire is inexhaustible. And yet, and yet. Keats's 'posthumous existence' has blurred his 'reality'. The translation of his life into a legend has distorted or denied important aspects of his achievement. When Richard Monckton Milnes published the first full-length biography of Keats, in 1848, the process was already well advanced. Thanks largely to Shelley's elegy Adonais (1821) and Leigh Hunt's memoir Lord Byron and Some Contemporaries (1828), Keats had already been enshrined as the archetype of the stricken Romantic: a supersensitive soul, brought to an early grave by the hostile reviewers of Blackwood's Magazine and the Quarterly Review. He was pre-eminently a poets' poet - at best an exotic marvel, at worst a sad curiosity. (In his lifetime, his poems had sold badly, and in 1834 his publisher had glumly concluded 'the world cares nothing for him'.) Milnes worked hard to challenge this impression, and to winnow fact from fantasy. But his book did not attempt and was not adequately equipped to capture Keats whole.
