Colvin, a lifelong student of Keats, wrote this large 1917 study to bring the poet’s life and work together in one connected account. It follows Keats from his London boyhood and medical training through the friendships with Hunt, Haydon and Reynolds, the savage reviews, the love for Fanny Brawne and the composition of the odes, and then traces how his reputation grew after his death.
