Posthumous Keats: A Personal Biography
Author(s): Stanley Plumly
A result of twenty years of reflection on the enduring afterlife of one of England's greatest Romantic poets - John Keats, this book meditates on the chances for poetic immortality - an idea that finds its purest expression in Keats. It is an ode to an unsuspecting young poet who managed to achieve the unthinkable.
