Summary

"In this wholly original and deeply personal work of scholarship, one of America's most cherished poets reflects on the life and legacy of John Keats." "In this close narrative study, Stanley Plumly meditates on the chances for poetic immortality - an idea that finds its purest expression in this young poet. The story of Keats's life, as revealed through his profound and beautiful letters, is familiar enough. But the story of his immortality, of how his fame as a great lyric poet was achieved against the conflicting interests of his friends, the sentimentality of the culture, the attacks of his critics, the "vicissitudes" (as his memoirist Joseph Severn calls them) of his poetic reputation, and Keats's own grand ambitions, is less well known."--BOOK JACKET
