John Keats died at a tragically early age， but during his short life he contrib-uted what have become some of the best-known poems in the Englishlanguage， such as Ode to a Nightingale， Ode on a Grecian Urn and ToAutumn.In this new biography of Keats， Stephen Hebron traces Keatss life and devel-opment as a poet， assessing his work in thecontext of the contemporary socialand literary scene. After leaving school Keats worked as an apprentice to anapothecary， and then went on to train as a surgeon. But it was poetry thatdominated his life. He began to ~ve in poetic and artistic circles， countingamong his friends and acqua！nnces Leigh Hunt. Benjamin Robert Haydon.Charles Lamb and Percv Bvsshe Shelley and it was not long before his poetywas published regularly.

Sent to Italy by his doctor to recuperate，he never returned， dying in Rome aged just 25. His poetry inspired Tennysonand Browning， and the Pre-Raphaelitepainters ranked him on a par with Dante，Homer， Chaucer and Goethe. Today， Keatsis recognised as one of the great poets otthe Romantic. or indeed any age， confir-mation of his own sure assertion： I think Ishall be among the English Poets after mydeath.
