The Complete Poems of John Keats - Wordsworth Poetry Library (Paperback)

"What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth,” wrote Romantic poet John Keats (1795–1821) in 1817. This comprehensive collection brings together the full range of his poetry from his often overlooked early work, to the celebrated poems that cemented his legacy, including the Odes and both versions of the unfinished epic Hyperion. It also features writings discovered posthumously, such as his experiments in drama and comic verse.

Together, these works reveal the extent to which Keats tested his own poetic philosophy throughout his brief yet intensely creative life. Written during a transformative era in English history following the French Revolution, this edition with its insightful introduction and detailed notes places Keats’s work firmly within its historical and literary context. It stands as compelling evidence that he achieved his heartfelt ambition: “to be among the English poets after my death".
