Condition : very good, minor signs of shelf wear, bookplate.
Illustrations : 23 black and white illustrations and facsimiles in the text, 72 black and white illustrations outside the text.

First published in 1997, Keats is the first major biography of this tragic hero of Romanticism for some thirty years, and differs from its predecessors in important ways. Most importantly, Andrew Motion - himself a distinguished poet and former Poet Laureate - demonstrates how poems continue to exert their power.
