John Keats is regarded as one of the greatest poets of the Romantic movement. But when he died at the age of only twenty-five, his writing had been attacked by critics and his talent remained unrecognized.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited and introduced by Dr Andrew Hodgson.
This volume, "Selected Poems", reflects his extraordinary creativity and versatility, drawing on the collections published during his lifetime as well as posthumously. He wrote in many different forms – from his famous Odes to ballads such as "La Belle Dame Sans Merci", and the epic "Hyperion". Together, they celebrate a poet of insight and emotion, writing about art and beauty, love and loss, suffering and nature.
"The imaginative impact of Keats’s life – his orphaned childhood, his letters and poetry, his friendships, his illness and love affair – has continued unbroken for nearly two hundred years."
New York Review of Books

"Keats’s jazz-like improvisations, which give us, like no other writing in English, the rush of a man thinking, a mind hurtling forward unpredictably and sweeping us along."
Morris Dickstein – New York Times

"He left behind him some of Britain’s best-loved poetry."

Through his sensuous language and romantic vision, Keats elevates ordinary experience into moments of profound insight. His work reflects the essence of the Romantic movement, blending emotion, nature, and beauty into verses of unmatched musicality and resonance.
More than two centuries after his birth, John Keats remains an iconic figure of world poetry. Selected Poems is both a literary treasure and an accessible introduction for new readers, offering timeless reflections on human longing, artistic creation, and the pursuit of truth.
