Description: In The Cambridge Companion to Keats, leading scholars discuss Keats's work in several fascinating contexts: literary history and key predecessors; Keats's life in London's intellectual, aesthetic and literary culture and the relation of his poetry to the visual arts. These specially commissioned essays are sophisticated but accessible, challenging but lucid, and are complemented by an introduction to Keats's life, a chronology, a list of contemporary people and periodicals, a source reference for famous phrases and ideas articulated in Keats's letters, a glossary of literary terms and a guide to further reading.
Review Quotes: "the volume provides a reasonably wide-ranging view of current issues in studying Keats and British Romanticism...belongs in all libraries where Keats is studied studies beyond the introductory level." CHOICE Nov 2001
