Autor

John Keats, born on October 31, 1795, in London, England, is one of the most illustrious and emblematic figures of the English Romantic movement. His literary corpus, although created in a remarkably brief period before his untimely death at the age of 25, has cemented his reputation as a master of poetic form and emotional depth. Keats pursued medical studies at Guy's Hospital, London, but his passion for poetry led him to abandon medicine for the world of verse ('The Complete Works of John Keats'). His oeuvre is characterized by sensuous imagery, an appreciation for the beauty of nature, and an exploration of the human condition, as seen in well-known works such as 'Ode on a Grecian Urn,' 'Ode to a Nightingale,' and 'To Autumn.' Keats's work did not receive widespread acclaim during his lifetime, and he often struggled with financial difficulties and ill health. Yet, his posthumous influence has been profound, with his letters and poems becoming a touchstone for the understanding of Romantic ideology and poetics. Tragically, Keats succumbed to tuberculosis on February 23, 1821, in Rome. Nevertheless, his masterful command of language and his exploration of beauty, love, and mortality resonate to this day, earning him a place among the luminaries of English literature.
