Description
Keats’ letters paint an unforgettably vivid and moving picture of CLIPPER
the richly productive but also tragic final years of the poet’s life. As
he ponders on the nature of the writer’s craft, he must first
confront his brother’s death from tuberculosis and then the
imminent prospect of his own, tormented by the fear that he will
not live to consummate his relationship with Fanny Brawne.
This general selection also includes many of his finest poems,
versions of which often appeared for the first time within the
letters themselves.
