KEATS-SHELLEY JOURNAL. Published by the Keats-Shelley Association of America, editor in chief Steven E. Jones. Vols. 1-43. New York, 1952-1994.

Partly bound, partly reprint. (ZY17099) In the first decade of this century the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association (American Committee) was organized in New York. Simultaneously, Committees were formed in Rome and England, with the joint purpose of purchasing and endowing the maintenance of the house in Rome, at 26 Piazza Di Spagna, where Keats had died in 1821. In 1949 the American Committee was incorporated as the Keats-Shelley Association of America. Almost immediately the KSAA began planning for a scholarly journal, to be published annually, dedicated to the study of Keats, Shelley, Byron, Hunt, and their circles. The first volume of the Keats-Shelley Journal appeared in 1952 and included articles, news, and notes, as well as the distinctive Bibliography on the younger Romantics that remains one of the Journal's strengths.

Aufl. 30.06.2005 Gewicht : 480 g Aus der Reihe : Text und Theorie 3 verwandte Themen : Keats, John [DNB] Endymion [DNB] 34,80 Eur[D] This book offers a comprehensive account of John Keats's attempt to achieve artistic eminence through his first great long-poem, Endymion. The author traces the influence of Virgil on Keats's early poetics and explores the role of the Aeneid as a model for Endymion. The labyrinth features prominently in the Aeneid, and it also plays a particularly important role in the early stage of Keats's poetic career. Thus, it can be used to help explain the complex structure and style of Endymion. The book also shows how Keats employed the labyrinth symbol to style himself a poeta vates in the tradition of the Augustan-Roman poets. Keats's use of the Augustan-Roman tradition is to be seen in the context of the struggle for poetic (and cultural) authority between Conservative and Liberal forces. By assuming the traditional authority of the divinely inspired poet, Keats legitimised his proclamation of an alternative view of society and poetry in Endymion. A supporter of the Liberal cause, Keats rejected warfare in general and literary war-scenes in particular. The author of the book argues that Endymion is Keats's failed attempt to write an innovative "Peaceful epic" in the tradition of the Romantic personal epic - a worthy medium for conveying the vatic vision of peace and human understaning. While Keats incorporated the elements of an epic poem on a formal level, Endymion nevertheless turned into an epic romance. Dissatisfied with the result, Keats relied on a less ornamental and more Grecian style in Hyperion. Hardcover Buch

P.K. Singh Illustrator: . The Poetry of John Keats: A Study in Erotic Sensibility, Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd. 2010 ISBN: 9788126913329

New Hardcover . The book presents some of the unexplored facts about KeatsaEUR poetry. Keats has been an important poet of romanticism. The poetic works of John Keats written within a very short span of his life have always baffled the readers and researchers. In fact, every great poet or for that matter every great man has his or her own source inspiration behind his or her success. In other words, every poet has his own private life but his privacy becomes public in the form of his poems. The personal feelings and emotions of a poet are sure to find expression in his poetry. The same is true with the poet John Keats. His letters reveal that he had a tempestuous affair with Fanny Brawn, a young beautiful girl. It can be said that Fanny Brawn is the source of inspiration behind his work. The erotic sensibility of John Keats as a poet is the guiding spirit behind all his works. He delights and luxuriates in all those objects which please the senses of the eye, the ear, the tongue, the nose and the touch. All his five senses were always awake and alert to receive impressions. He has been called a sensuous poet because in his poetry the sensuous appeal is most intense and all-pervading. But critics fail to perceive the fact that the soft silken touch of a lovely maiden, or the heaving breasts of a woman thrilled Keats as much as the soft petals of a newly blossomed flower. He reveled in the physical enjoyment of all sensory delights, and his poetry abounds in descriptions of all types of sensuous as well as sexual experiences. KeatsaEUR poetry is marked by an impassioned sensuous contemplation of the concrete world, enjoyed in self-contained, timeless moments. In his poetry the moments become eternal. The present book discusses in detail the poems of John Keats in order to bring out his erotic sensibility. It is an endeavour to study the hidden reality of KeatsaEUR poetry. It will be useful to the students and teachers of English literature and researchers in romantic poetry. Printed Pages: 168. .
