Description

John Keats's final journey was marked by both hope and foreboding as he embarked on a desperate bid to restore his health in Italy. In September 1820, accompanied by his friend Joseph Severn, Keats left London for Naples, setting in motion a series of events that would shape the poet's last five months.

Alessandro Gallenzi has meticulously pieced together all available material, including newly discovered and previously unpublished documents, to create a gripping narrative that strips away the Romantic patina surrounding Keats's short life. This detailed account offers a fresh perspective on both the poet and the man behind the legend.
