John Keats

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures
of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with
Lord Byron and
Percy Bysshe Shelley,
despite his work having been in publication for only four years before his death.
Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his lifetime, his reputation grew after his death,
and by the end of the 19th century, he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets.
He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers.
The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes.
This is typical of romantic poets, as they aimed to accentuate extreme emotion through the emphasis of natural imagery.
