1. JOHN KEATS
(1795-1821)
THE POET OF BEAUTY

2. WHO WAS JOHN KEATS ?
• English Romantic poet.
• Born on October 31, 1795, in London.
• In 1816 Keats became a licensed apothecary, but he never practiced his
profession, deciding instead to write poetry.
• In July 1820, he published his third and best volume of poetry, Lamia,
Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems.

3. CHILDHOOD
 John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas
and Frances Keats .
 He was the eldest of four surviving children.
 His father first worked as a hostler at the stables attached to the Swan and
Hoop Inn owned by his father-in-law.

4. CHILDHOOD (Contd.)
 His parents wished to send their sons to Eton or Harrow, but the family
decided they could not afford the fees.
 In the summer of 1803, John was sent to board at John Clarke's school in
Enfield, close to his grandparents' house.
 In April 1804, when Keats was eight, his father died from a skull fracture
after falling from his horse .

5. YOUTH
 In March 1810, his mother died of tuberculosis, leaving the children in their
grandmother's custody.
 John attended a school at Enfield, two miles away, that was run by John
Clarke, whose son Charles Cowden Clarke did much to encourage Keats’s
literary aspirations.
 At school Keats was noted as a pugnacious lad and was decidedly “not
literary,” but in 1809 he began to read voraciously.

6. Youth (Contd.)
 John Keats was apprenticed to a surgeon at Edmonton in 1811.
 He broke off his apprenticeship in 1814 and went to live in London, where he
worked as a dresser, or junior house surgeon, at Guy’s and St. Thomas’
hospitals.
 His literary interests had crystallized by this time, and after 1817 he devoted
himself entirely to poetry. From then until his early death, the story of his
life is largely the story of the poetry he wrote.

7. EARLY WORKS
 Charles Cowden Clarke had introduced the young Keats to the poetry of
Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethans, and these were his earliest models.
 Clarke also introduced Keats to the journalist and contemporary poet
Leigh Hunt.
 Keats’s first book, Poems, was published in March 1817 and was written
largely under “Huntian” influence.

8. EARLY WORKS
 In 1817 Keats left London briefly for a trip to the Isle of Wight and Canterbury
and began work on Endymion, his first long poem.
 Endymion appeared in 1818. This work is divided into four 1,000-line
sections, and its verse is composed in loose rhymed couplets.
 Keats transformed the tale to express the widespread Romantic theme of
the attempt to find in actuality an ideal love that has been glimpsed
heretofore only in imaginative longings.

HOMER
 THE EVE OF ST. AGNES
