Letters of John Keats to His Family and Friends
Letters of John Keats to His Family and Friends collects the correspondence of the poet from 1816 until a few months before his death in Rome in 1821, addressed to his brothers George and Tom, his sister Fanny, his friends Reynolds, Bailey, Haydon and Brown, and his publisher Taylor. Written quickly and without thought of print, the letters follow the composition of Endymion, Hyperion and the great odes, the walking tour of Scotland, the illness and death of Tom, the long journal letters to George in America, and the onset of the consumption that killed him. They also contain, in passing, some of the most quoted remarks on poetry in English, among them the phrase negative capability.
