Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats

Although widely acclaimed today, John Keats (1795-1821) was often considered personally unsavoury and poetically underwhelming in his own time. Published in 1848, this two-volume collection of his letters, edited by Richard Monckton Milnes (1809-85), reveals the poet's true colours. Volume 1 charts his early life up to 1819.
