John Keats: Selected Poems (Penguin Classics: Poetry)

A selection of Keats's greatest poems

Over the course of his short life, John Keats (1795-1821) honed a raw talent into a brilliant poetic maturity. By the end of his brief career, he had written poems of such beauty, imagination and generosity of spirit, that he had - unwittingly - fulfilled his wish that he should â€˜be among the English poets after my deathâ€™. This wide-ranging selection of Keatsâ€™s poetry contains youthful verse, such as his earliest known poem â€˜Imitation of Spenserâ€™; poems from his celebrated collection of 1820 - including â€˜Lamiaâ€™, â€˜Isabellaâ€™, â€˜The Eve of St Agnesâ€™, â€˜Ode to a Nightingaleâ€™ and â€˜Hyperionâ€™ - and later celebrated works such as â€˜La Belle Dame sans Merciâ€™. Also included are many poems considered by Keats to be lesser work, but which illustrate his more earthy, playful side and superb ear for everyday language.
