New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1959. Later reprint of the '59 ed Cover some wear, scuffs, rubs, chips, sticker ghosts, creases, stamped inside cover PAges w/highlighting and pencil/ink notes/underlining Highly legible Synopsis: Keats, with presentiments of his early death, worked with single-minded dedication once he began writing poetry at the age of 18. He began a rigorous training period during which he studied the great poets who preceded him, and in his November 1817 poem, "Sleep and Poetry", he wrote: "O for ten years, that I may overwhelm/Myself in poesy; so I may do the deed/That my own soul has to itself decreed." Alas, he was to have only three years before he became ill with the tuberculosis that would finally kill him at 25. Keats is celebrated for his sensual imagery, his intense identification with the things he wrote about, and the beauty of his language, which has often been compared to Shakespeare's. In addition to his enormous poetic gift, Keats was also a wonderful writer of letters; his letters to his brother and to various friends, in which he articulated his personal beliefs and critical views, stand among the great letters of English literature. .
