This is an excellent book to have on your shelf, whether you're studying Keats, teaching Keats, or exploring his 'realms of gold' simply out of curiosity.

The essays that are included within are all original, and written by the Keats experts. They place his life and works into various contexts that are accessible to the reader.

It should perhaps be noted that this book doesn't go through poems offering a direct analysis, but there are citations and references to the poems throughout. There is also an examination of the letters and the ideas explored within ('negative capability', 'egotistical sublime' etc. etc.)

An excellent book, for any admirer of this great Romantic artist's poetry.
