Rossetti follows Keats from his London birth in 1795 and his schooling at Enfield through his surgical training, his friendships with Leigh Hunt, Haydon, Reynolds and Dilke, the writing of Endymion and the great odes, his love for Fanny Brawne and his final journey to Rome. Later chapters describe his appearance and portraits and assess the poems.
