Keats Poems

Keats poems are known to be some of the most romantic poems in the formal study of the history of literature for several different factors – they were quite obviously well written, of course, their verses had a certain sense of rhythm and imagery that compels a person to step into the worlds that Keats poems conjure, and they do in fact touch us in ways that few literary works of that time do (each poet’s language does, of course, affect us in different ways).

But perhaps what makes Keats poems very appealing to us, apart from their genuine romantic craftsmanship, would be these two facts: John Keats died at the young age of twenty-six, and most of his life seemed to be a test of separating him from his love of literature (see his biography, also found in this site). These two facts themselves have, of course increased the sense of Romanticism that is associated with Keats poems based on the idealization of John Keats’ devotion to his work; some claim that his love of his poems killed him. Today, Keats poems are never undiscussed when studying the English Romantic Movement, which deals with not only love, but idealization. Keats, as well as Keats poems, very much embodied the English Romantic Movement.
