"The notion that what is captured by the imagination as Beauty must inherently be Truth was eloquently articulated by Romantic poet John Keats in 1817. This comprehensive anthology presents all of Keats' poetic works, including his earlier pieces, which remain underappreciated to this day. Central to his enduring legacy are the famous 'Odes' and the dual renditions of the incomplete epic 'Hyperion'. Furthermore, the collection features writings published posthumously, such as his ventures into drama and humorous poetry. Through these works, Keats consistently explored the depth of his philosophical assertion throughout his brief but prolific career. His life unfolded during an extraordinary era in English history, marked by the repercussions of the French Revolution, and this anthology, enriched with insightful introductions and annotations, seeks to firmly anchor his poems within their historical milieu. This extensive collection stands as testimony that Keats successfully secured his aspiration to be remembered among the eminent English poets following his passing."
