What is Selected Poetry (Oxford World's Classics) about?

xxii, 260 pages ; 19 cm Before the moment of 'self-will' when he declared his intention to be a poet, Keats (1795-1821) had chosen the medical profession. His medical training influenced his conception of poetry as an art that could mitigate the world's suffering. Keats's generous spirit triumphed over personal sadness, finding expression in his concept of life as a 'vale of Soul-making' rather than a vale of tears. He died at the age of 25, having published three volumes of poetry; while many of his contemporaries quickly recognized his genius, snobbery and political hostility led the Tory press to vilify him This selection, chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition of Keats's major works, demonstrates the remarkable growth in maturity of his verse, from early poems such as 'Imitation of Spenser' and 'Ode to Apollo' to later work such as 'The Eve of St Agnes', 'Ode to a Nightingale', and 'To Autumn'. Elizabeth Cook's introduction, notes, and glossary of classical names offer helpful insights into Keats's life and work Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-246) and index Imitation of Spenser -- Written on the Day that Mr. Leigh Hunt Left Prison -- To Hope -- Ode to A
