Description

Keats's Selected Letters offer a unique insight into the poet's development and artistic process. Written between 1816 and 1820, these 170 letters provide a fascinating glimpse into Keats's personal life, struggles, and creative pursuits. The letters are not only an important record of Keats's poetic growth but also stand as great works of literature in their own right. With candour and intensity, they explore themes of mortality, love, and social change against the backdrop of Britain emerging from the Napoleonic Wars. A new introduction by Jon Mee provides context for these remarkable letters. This selection is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a wide range of literature for over 100 years.
