John Keats: Selected Poems

The peoms in Keats first volume (1817) are notable for the presence of an adolescent poet lacking organisation and complexity. They are triggered by anxieties whether or not he had it in him to be a poet. Between Endymion and the Odes Keats was astonishingly transformed: Advancing from the status of minor talent to maturer mind, deeply reflective by a dimension of human experience.
