Would have loved to have a cup of tea with John Keats...I enjoyed the letters and anecdotes of the very great and able John Keats... The favourite poem is Autumn, which I read again sat in The Keats house in Italy in January..just wonderful... Can you imagine how many wonderful poems we would have had, had he not dies so young from TB.... sad...

I bought a few biographies and chose this one thinking as it was written not that long after Keats' death it could be interesting. Michael Rossetti, brother of Dante Gabriel didn't know Keats, had a lot of biases about him, was clearly caught in those biases and the fact that as time passed Keat's writing rose in stature of opinion. Those misconceptions affect what was written about him but he did try to write fairly. To really understand Keats, his complete letters reveal much about him. Keats was incredibly smart if not a genius, sensitive, intuitive, witty, funny, heartbreakingly emotional and passionate. Cambridge Companion to Keats edited by Susan Wolfson offers an assortment of academic insights into uncovering Keats, a complex and vibrant character well worth investigating. I give three stars to Rossetti's because of the time in which it was written. Keats is a constellation of fascination and this book does not really do his greatness justice at all but has its merits none the less.
