The Challenge of Keats: Bicentenary Essays (1795-1995)

by Anthony Johnson (Contributor), Allan C. Christensen (Editor), Lilla Maria Crisafulli Jones (Editor)

The contributors to this volume re-examine some of the harshest criticisms of Keats, from Byron onwards, and some of the unconditional exaltations of the poet in order to discover possible sites between the two for new critical impulses and fertile re-evaluations of his achievement. The essays in this book appraise the historical-cultural contexts that nurtured Keats's creativity; discuss the influences and interrelationships among Keats and other poets; and consider Keats's artistry as revealed in the analyses of particular texts.
