The only things more miraculous than Keats's career--he began writing at the age of eighteen, and by the time he died, seven years later, in 1821, he had produced a substantial number of the greatest poems in English--are those poems themselves. Nowhere has the pressure of human imagination been brought more powerfully to bear on our mortal condition than in his great narratives and narrative fragments, his sonnets of discovery, and his six magnificent odes, culminating in 'To Autumn'. The new Everyman edition of the poems presents a re-ordered and re-edited version of the complete text with detailed notes to every poem.
