Thank you sir. A Keats admirer from India.
I visited Keat' s house last July,I found it very atmospheric and loved the place!
Beautiful. I particularly appreciate the heart-felt endearment with which this brief retelling of history is recounted, the relevance of which will surely become even more significant over time. (I came across this video in January 2022). I am keenly anticipating the "new story ... told at greater length". Thank you.
Thank you for this excellent and heartfelt eulogy to John Keats. We continue to mourn one of England’s great-hearted romantic poets. Lest we forget…
I wish if this video was uploaded during the days when I was working on my graduation research paper. Such rich information about Keats and his death. Thank you so much, God bless you.
Wonderful. Thank you and also thank God for TH-cam which allows us access to such great speakers and academics
Thank you .
The more I hear about great Keats the more I love him. The sad fate of Keats is pathetic enough to make a person like me weep. As a student of English literature in India, I have read a lot of about Keats and of Keats. All the love and admiration I profess for Keats has led me to write an elegy. Though I had written it on the date of his death, 23rd February 2021 and took more than two months to complete it.
The first three stanzas of that 200 lines long elegy are here:
The time runs on steed speed steady at.
The laws of the world change with it too.
While perceiving these big changes I sat.
To ponder on the memories of greats through.
II
To weep or not, I don't understand this.
But to think of it gives me a lot of pains.
So, don't want a chance to write miss.
The tale of 'Adonais' with non' of my gains.
III
The Earth took two hundred rounds of the Sun.
Since the warm tears of some eyes dried.
Oh! he died by poisoned ink, not by the gun.
Not only Shelley but on his death, nature cried.
let me know if you like it ......

Thank you
I from India too and I echo your sentiments fully. One cannot but be profoundly moved by this life tragically cut short. Who knows what heights he might have reached had he lived on.

Question, does anyone know when Leigh hunt received the sad news, was it from brown or another friend
The first minute of a ten minute presentation is about Nicholas Roe and his career. I can't help but think that Roe and his ilk were the very sort who wrote such unkind reviews of Keats' work. Don't get me wrong, this is an interesting enough presentation, but since Keats - and indeed most 'classic' authors - were avowedly anti-academic, it always seems ironic that they now prop up the careers and status of academics who have such a parasitic relationship with them.
Interesting. I did not know that Keats was “anti-academic”, though I can well relate to the sentiment, or at least to being anti-intellectual. However, I do sense that Mr. Roe has a wonderful affinity for Keats, academic or pure layman.
