"Keats" by Sidney Colvin is a biographical work written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life, influences, and literary contributions of the Romantic poet John Keats, detailing his journey from an ordinary upbringing to becoming one of the most celebrated figures in English literature. It explores his familial relationships, friendships, and the social circle that shaped his development as a poet. The opening of the biography provides a foundational overview of Keats's early life, including his birth into a modest family and his formative years spent at different schools. It highlights significant events such as the loss of his father and the effects this had on his upbringing. The narrative details his awakening to poetry during his time as a surgeon's apprentice, noting the deep emotional connections he fostered with his family and friends. As he begins to engage with poetry more seriously, the text hints at his evolving relationships with contemporaries like Leigh Hunt and Shelley, setting the stage for his burgeoning literary ambitions. This introduction establishes a poignant and reflective tone that invites readers to explore the complexities of Keats’s character and the context in which his poetry flourished.
