About this Product

This book considers Keatss major poems as exercises in Romantic historicism. The poetrys rich allusiveness represents Keatss effort to reclaim the British canon for Cockney revisionism, and reveals Keats characteristically invoking the past to define his contemporary cultural politics. The book begins by discussing Keatss Cockney traditionalism in its Regency context and then proceeds through the poets career in chronological order. There are chapters on history and vocation in the poets first volume, the failed idealism of Endymion, gender and audience in the Medieval Romances, the Ode on a Grecian Urn in historical context, secularism and consolation in the other great Odes, and then the two Hyperion fragments, in which history ramifies beyond poetic method to become the explicit subject of inquiry. The result is a stimulating reassessment of Keatss intellectual development and most admired poems.
