Book Details

The Complete Poems of John Keats

This Modern Library edition contains all of Keats's magnificent verse: "Lamia", "Isabella", and "The Eve of St. Agnes"; his sonnets and odes; the allegorical romance Endymion; and the five-act poetic tragedy Otho the Great. Presented as well are the famous posthumous and fugitive poems, including the fragmentary "The Eve of Saint Mark" and the great "La Belle Dame sans Merci", perhaps the most distinguished literary ballad in the language.

"No one else in English poetry, save Shakespeare, has in expression quite the fascinating felicity of Keats, his perception of loveliness", said Matthew Arnold. "In the faculty of naturalistic interpretation, in what we call natural magic, he ranks with Shakespeare."
